Quick Glance: Biden pardons thousands for "simple marijuana possession"

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. President Joe Biden is pardoning thousands of Americans convicted under federal law of "simple possession" of marijuana, as his administration takes a significant step toward decriminalizing the drug and addressing charging practices that disproportionately affect people of color.

"There are thousands of people who have prior Federal convictions for marijuana possession, who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result," he stated.

Biden's action aligns the federal government with other major cities, such as New York, which have been decriminalizing low-level marijuana charges for years.
