Yesterday White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the statement from Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), the Democratic nominee for a U.S. Senate seat, “It’s long past time that we finally decriminalize marijuana,” Fetterman said in a statement on Monday.
It’s long past time that we finally decriminalize marijuana.
Too many lives like Paul’s have been destroyed by misguided policy most Americans want to see reformed. @POTUS you have the power to use your executive authority to chart a new course. https://t.co/pNKxF0SnVq
“The president needs to use his executive authority to begin descheduling marijuana, I would love to see him do this prior to his visit to Pittsburgh. This is just common sense and Pennslyvanians overwhelmingly support decriminalizing marijuana.”
Jean Pierre responded “White House had nothing to announce regarding executive action on marijuana.”
Cannabis should be legal, records should be expunged, and the cannabis industry should be equitable for the communities targeted by its criminalization.
