TN officials: marijuana pardon won't make much of a difference
https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/local-officials-marijuana-pardon-wont-make-much-of-a-difference-in-tennessee/JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) – Following President Biden’s recent order to pardon everyone convicted of simple marijuana possession charges, officials in Tennessee say the pardon won’t make much of an impact here.
“If there comes a time in Tennessee where the laws change, then I’ll abide by it, but at this point [marijuana] is still illegal and we’ll prosecute it,” said District Attorney of the Third District Dan Armstrong.
Armstrong says that if people are charged with possession, there are ways it can eventually be taken off their record. “If they’re charged, if they do their probation and pay their fines, those things are expugnable and they get it taken off their record.”

Nice to know that officials will abide by federal law.

I wonder if it's possible to have Fed weed charges without state charges? Either way, it's a start.
I never understood wtf they think they are to outlaw something Mother Nature gifted to us. 
All that said, I don't partake but feel this country is so fkd up with all the magat issues, I think it would be great if the Fed passed out shopping bags full of week on street corners. 😉
Passed out shopping bags full of weed.
Likely why pukes are so dead set against legalizing weed.
And I mean large shopping bags
..
That would cut the legs out from under organized crime too.
Lots of prison escapes.
Surreal.
Constant violations. Daily.
