    Did the general pardon for marijuana convicts happen yet? Are there plans to legalize or is it bad luck if your arrested a day after the pardon.

    Democrats are superheros in comparison to the republican core but compared with about anyone else they are dumb, slow and ineffective.

      Yes, and that you don’t know is a statement about the shitty state of US media, which does not adequately report on what democrats do compared to what republicans say. Because it gives less clicks.

      No plans for federal legalization (impossible with this senate anyways), but the pardon applies also to later convicts

      regardless of whether they have been charged with or prosecuted for this offense on or before the date of this proclamation

      and you can apply for a pardon certificate here: https://www.justice.gov/pardon/presidential-proclamation-marijuana-possession

        Pretty cool it also applies to later convicts. A bit weird though that something is remains criminal by law but you can apply for a pardon certificate.

        The modern quality standard for news reporting seems low almost everywhere. I was only really exposed to US media on reddit but other times a US president only has to sneeze for something to be reported and imitated worldwide.
