Original Note:
It is correct that President Biden issued pardons, but only for convictions of POSSESSION of marijuana, (not of "intent to deliver") and only if that possession was in D.C or on Federal Land (i.e. Nat'l Park or Native Reservation). Several thousand Americans were affected. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-issue-pardons-certain-marijuana-offenses-rcna130876 https://www.justice.gov/pardon/pardons-granted-president-joseph-biden-2021-present#December%2020,%202023
