“Nobody should be in jail for smoking marijuana”

Six US Senators have co-signed a letter to US President Joe Biden,

to follow up on our earlier requests that the Administration use its existing authority to (i) deschedule cannabis and (ii) issue pardons to all individuals convicted of non-violent cannabis-related offenses.

The letter details the logic behind the de-scheduling and the promises made in respect to freeing people convicted of non violent cannabis crimes.

"The Administration’s failure to coordinate a timely review of its cannabis policy is harming thousands of Americans, slowing research, and depriving Americans of their ability to use marijuana for medical or other purposes. We ask that the Biden Administration act quickly to rectify this decade long injustice harming individuals, especially Black and Brown communities."
