President Joe Biden expands Cannabis pardon on December 21, 2023. This is an expansion of the pardons from October 2022, to include additional marijuana or weed related offenses on federal lands. This helps even more people who were previously impacted by federal marijuana laws.

This is another major move towards decriminalizing marijuana, President Biden issued a full pardon in October 2022 for all prior federal offenses of simple possession. This means thousands of people with convictions on their records can now have them cleared.

And on that same day, December 21st, Biden has also granted clemency to 11 individuals serving sentences for non-violent drug offenses. This gives them a second chance and shows continued progress towards addressing outdated drug policies.
