Sending people to jail for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives – for conduct that is legal in many states. That’s before you address the clear racial disparities around prosecution and conviction. Today, we begin to right these wrongs.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I’d also like to note that as federal and state regulations change, we still need important limitations on trafficking, marketing, and underage sales of marijuana.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Third: We classify marijuana at the same level as heroin – and more serious than fentanyl. It makes no sense. I’m asking @SecBecerra and the Attorney General to initiate the process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.

[David A. Shirk @shirktwit]

@POTUS @SecBecerra This is well overdue.

We’re going to legalize marijuana in Texas.

Homicides are on the upswing in Tijuana since the new mayoral administration took office and made sweeping personnel changes to law enforcement (reversing suspicious activities of the previous administration). Recent car fires suggest that someone not happy about these changes.

It is a very dangerous time for Mexican journalists. It is impossible, however, to definitively determine whether now is the most dangerous time there has ever been to be a journalist in Mexico. We don’t have the data needed 2 verify this hyperbolic claim. https://t.co/ztpAn4jTsA
