Washington: US President Joe Biden in video message to the country announced that those who keep and use marijuana should not be in jail. All the prisoners who are lodged in jail on this charge should be allowed to come out.
Referring to white-black people
He said in his message that people are locked in jail for possessing marijuana. Due to these allegations, people do not get employment, houses and educational opportunities. White black people use equal amounts of ganja. Black people are arrested more in this case than white people. They get more punishment.
The punishment for those who have ganja in general is waived
Joe Biden said that the sentences of thousands of people convicted under federal law have been waived. At the same time, by changing the policy, it has also been announced that this order applies to those who have been accused of having marijuana in general.
“All those who were charged with simple marijuana are exonerated and pardoned,” Biden said. The Attorney General has been directed to issue certificates of apology to all those covered under this ambit.
