The decision by President Joe Biden to pardon his son, Hunter, despite previously suggesting he would not do so, has reopened debate over the use of the presidential pardon.

Must be because people are so unfair to that troubled youth who just needed help, Hunter Biden. Has nothing to do with Joe Biden promising to use presidential powers to pardon the indigent, disproportionately-black group of people who went to jail for possessing weed and instead using the powers specifically for his 54 year old millionaire son.
Biden already pardoned everyone convicted of possessing weed. The only “non-violent” cannabis offenders in federal prison are dealers.
Just this year there have been 200,000 weed related arrests, and thousands imprisoned because simple possession is still illegal in lots of the US.
And how many of those are federal arrests not state arrests?
