Higher Ground

Few laws have been as unevenly applied as the ones around minor drug offenses. So consider this a small step toward righting a very big wrong. USA Today: Biden pardons marijuana use nationwide. Here’s what that means. “Biden issued a similar pardon last year and promised future reforms. This year’s proclamation went further in that it forgave all instances of simple marijuana use or possession under federal law, including for individuals who have never been charged.” (Half of America is like, “phew!” and the other half of America is like, “Wait, pot was illegal?”)
