“In coming days, the Office of the Pardon Attorney will begin implementing a process to provide impacted individuals with certificates of pardon.” “A review by HHS of how cannabis is scheduled is welcome, but those of us who have been advocating for reform, we already know that a comprehensive federal solution is needed,” Sen. It could simply move marijuana to a lower category on the Controlled Substances Act — something that advocates have pointed out could complicate medical and recreational marijuana programs in already-legal states. “It also means that research will continue to be inhibited and state-level markets will be at odds with federal law.” The Pennsylvania lieutenant governor, long a proponent of legalizing weed, talked with Biden for 20 minutes last month in Pittsburgh, during which Fetterman urged him to deschedule marijuana. The administration had also said Biden wants to reschedule cannabis to a Schedule II drug — which would make it easier to study — legalize medical marijuana and decriminalize minor possession.

Five states are voting on recreational cannabis legalization in the 2022 midterms: Missouri, Arkansas, North and South Dakota, and Maryland. But despite the popularity of legalization, fewer than one in five 2022 primary candidates mentioned cannabis reform on their website or on social media, according to The president also urged governors to take similar action for state offenses of civil possession of marijuana. “Criminal records for marijuana possession have also imposed needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities.

Biden’s federal pardons will help at least 6,500 people, though most possession crimes are charged at the state level. Gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke was quick to support the measure. “The Governor of Texas can only pardon individuals who have been through the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles system with a recommendation for pardon,” Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Abbott, said in a statement.

The White House had been avoiding applying the “war criminal” label to Putin, because it requires investigation and an international determination. Last month, Biden, in a CBS “60 Minutes” interview, said that “U.S. There’s some concern in the administration that Russia has determined it can use its nuclear arsenal in a manner short of a “full-blown” nuclear attack on Ukraine and face only limited reaction from U.S. The White House said after the interview that U.S. and when the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, to protect Russia and our people, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal,” Putin said. We are going to keep cool heads and we will, each time, denounce the irresponsible character of these threats.” “We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis,” he added. “I have always refused to engage in political fiction, and especially ... when speaking of nuclear weapons,” Macron said at a EU summit in Prague.
