Joe Biden, Quick Question Before You Go: Are Those Cannabis Pardons From 2 Years Ago Still On?
It’s been two years since Joe Biden‘s announcement to pardon all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. Although almost everyone has likely noticed that not a single person among the approximately 3,000 people incarcerated for federal cannabis offenses has been released.
To remedy the situation, the Last Prisoner Project (LPP) has a great idea for the soon-to-be-retired president: immediately release individuals still incarcerated for federal weed offenses.
To that end, the LPP along with a bipartisan coalition of cannabis advocates has launched the #Countdown4Clemency campaign, calling on Biden “to use his clemency powers to commute the sentences of these individuals before his term ends.”
