Honestly I'm surprised he did this after all, but more power to him. Trump was going to pardon himself of any federal crimes.

Good. Now the remaining 89,000 people who are in prison because of minor drug offenses.

If Biden doesn't pardon them, he's a hypocrite.

If you care about reducing gang activity, shutting down black markets, reducing harm, death, and addiction; certifying the ingredients and strengths in a given product, and producing revenue that can be used to educate drug users to reduce their consumption, and fund harm reduction and healthcare initiatives; then legalizing drugs is the only option.

The fact that politicians don’t go this route is a testament to the fact that they don’t want any of these things. They want a military state where they can use drug-use/possession against those who they have nothing else on.
The war on drugs is a key piece of the systemic racism/classism built into the American legal system. And it makes me wonder if they would have ever change it, even for the $$$ it would bring in every year.

Honestly, I think the pharmaceutical industry will probably lobby FOR drug legalization. They are prime candidates to handle the testing and distribution of these products.

The would be against decriminalization without a legalization framework, and they will surely push to have special rights that will guarantee their monopolies, but that’s US capitalism
