In Proclamation 10467 of October 6, 2022 (Granting Pardon for the Offense of Simple Possession of Marijuana), I exercised my authority under the Constitution to pardon individuals who committed or were convicted of the offense of simple possession of marijuana in violation of the Controlled Substances Act and section 48–904.01(d)(1) of the Code…

I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., do hereby grant a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to all current United States citizens and lawful permanent residents who, on or before the date of this proclamation, committed or were convicted of the offense of simple possession of marijuana, attempted simple possession of marijuana, or use of marijuana, regardless of whether they have been charged with or prosecuted for these offenses on or before the date of this proclamation

    Copied from the HuffPost article I found first:

    Hunter Biden was indicted in September for illegally owning a gun in 2018 after he lied on a federal form that asks gun buyers whether they’re on drugs. He admitted in a 2021 memoir that he was habitually using crack cocaine at the time.

    It’s a pretty lose connection of him actually being on a crack at that exact time based on whatever he wrote in general. And it’s a crack, not mj. And I don’t feel like anyone got charged for that at any point in history, and that matters with a precedent-based court.

    It’s funny how long it drags. Laptop, then that. Them going for the president’s son to (how?) smear the image of Biden senior is pathetic, just like counting times he tripped over something. Why’s that happening? Because Biden is quite literally the most neutral figure who causes a little to no controversy, so his opponents use these indirect nothing-burgers.
