Following the news that US President, Joe Biden, has pardoned everyone convicted of the federal offence of marijuana possession in his country, Netizens have reacted with mixed feelings.
Joe Biden had on Thursday, October 6th, announced a pardon for all prior federal offences of simple possession of marijuana in the US and urged governors of fifty states in the country to extend the clemency to people who have been imprisoned by state laws criminalizing marijuana possession.
