Is there a “complex possession” of marijuana charge?

Nothing a Democrat does is right. You can take that to the bank.

Trump should have done this while in office. It would have re-assured his re-election.

If the GOP takes the House *or* the Senate next month he may very well be forced to give a full,and unconditional,pardon to Hunter...and his brother...in order to prevent them from testifying under oath.

Here in Washington State, when we decriminalized marijuana and set up pot stores in every neighborhood, selling very potent versions of the drug, we saw a huge spike in homelessness, vagrancy, and shoplifting.

It’s a gateway drug. You ask any decrepit heroin or meth addict how they got into drugs they’ll say “well,I started with grass...”

Do you think the pot made them homeless, or did homeless people come for the pot?
Asking sincerely.

If Trump pardoned Eric for jay walking the corrupt butt boys of the press would be screaming bloody murder.

But when Biden does this for this scummy criminal son the press won’t say a word. Effing thugs of a feather...

How much marijuana can you possess before you are assumed to be dealing?

It sounds like Biden pardoned everyone including dealers regardless of how much possession.

That's my assumption as well. Let the Democrats tell you what they did and then multiply that by 10.

Ditto. Small amount of weed should be a nothing burger.

“He is also calling on governors to issue similar pardons for those convicted of state marijuana offenses, which reflect the vast majority of marijuana possession cases.”

Hmm, probably still won’t help me, mine was for cultivation not possession. I had a total of 3 tiny plants growing in my closet when the cops busted in for a medical emergency and noticed the grow lights emanating from there. Wound up being a costly ordeal with lawyers and fines, but I would still like to get it off my record even at this late date. Ironically I’m now thinking of quitting marijuana because it tends to sap my energy and motivation, this at a time when they are finally legalizing it.

“...addressing charging practices that disproportionately impact people of color.”
Uh, you mean the folks that “disproportionately” commit the crimes?
Thought so.
