Biden pardons thousands convicted of marijuana charges – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: President Joe Biden issued a pardon to thousands of people convicted of marijuana use and simple possession on federal lands and in the District of Columbia in an effort to address racial disparities in the justice system. This follows a similar action in 2022 and includes a total of 11 people serving long sentences for nonviolent drug offenses. The previous pardons helped individuals overcome obstacles to employment and housing, and the new order expands the grounds for which pardons are issued. The pardon applies only to marijuana and does not apply to those in the U.S. unlawfully at the time of their offense. People will need to apply for certificates of pardon for housing and employment purposes. Biden also called on governors and local leaders to take similar steps to erase marijuana convictions.
