I'm happy to see anybody unburdened by the US legal system, but there's something underwhelming about the most powerful politician in the country only now deigning to use his executive power.
People are cheering and memeing in unsurprising 
fashion and I'm like bruh, he could have done this and more. Years ago. And they're talking about the necessity of voting and how bad trump would be. Like where do you think Brandon was when drafting the anti marijuana bills?
That said, I don't want to come across as unreasonable when good things happen. If a lib approached me and shared this news, what would be an appropriate response?
Link because I got that bird box disease where I want to make people to see the thing.
I thought he already did this?? Did I imagine that or did he just announce he was going to months ago?
Yeah I'm pretty sure he already did this back in October of 2022? Even then it was a minuscule amount of people actually pardoned, because most in prison for possession are on state charges.
I'm near the Blue Ridge Parkway, so maybe people picked up there (of which there are many) will get something.
But they'll almost always charge you with half a dozen other things like some sort of moving violation, trespassing, littering, etc.
Yeah I'm also confused. Was it one of those things where they said they were going to do it and then did nothing until now or what's going on?
