President Biden has only granted 1.4% of clemency petitions submitted. There are four months left for cannabis justice before his term ends.

With the president’s decision to drop out of the race, he has effectively begun a longer lame-duck period, which is historically when most presidential clemency grants have occurred.

      I mean as a lie, since cannabis hasn’t been rescheduled and was never gonna be under Biden.

          If it hasn’t been rescheduled, it’s a lie to say it has been rescheduled.

              In the context of broken promises by the Biden administration regarding the bipartisan proxy war against minorities that we call the war on drugs.

                  Biden promised to reschedule, and it was a lie. The war on drugs has been a bipartisan effort, and it disproportionately harms minorities. Not only that, it was designed to harm minorities from the very beginning.

                  John Ehrlichman, one of the architects of the war on drugs:

                  We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

                  Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

        There isn’t a clear yes or no answer to your question, since it is leading.

        Are you waiting for someone to be released from federal prison that was only charged with possession?

          I’m not waiting for Biden to do anything. I saw how that went with rescheduling. You want to believe Lucy won’t pull the football away, go ahead.
