Countdown For Cannabis Clemency
By: Gina Vensel
Friday, October 25th
President Biden has pardoned thousands of people for simple cannabis possession. This represents progress, but not true justice. There are still 3,000 people in federal prison for cannabis offenses that need to be freed. With less than 100 days before President Biden leaves office, he is running out of time to right history and grant cannabis clemency.
Join Last Prisoner Project and other cannabis justice advocates in urging President Biden to use his clemency power to release every last federal cannabis prisoner before the end of his term.
Time is running out to turn words into action. President Biden must keep his promise and release the over 3,000 people still in federal prison for cannabis convictions.
