Alex Berenson blasts Biden's move to pardon marijuana possession: 'Pure theater' to appease pro-weed liberals
Fox News
Author Alex Berenson called President Biden’s move to pardon all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession "pure theater" that is "meaningless."
"I don’t have a huge problem with this for a couple reasons, I mean, I don’t think anybody should be in prison for marijuana possession. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t necessarily put people in prison for trafficking, or farming, but possession, I think there is a pretty clear consensus that you shouldn’t go to jail for that," Berenson told Fox News Digital.

"But more importantly, this is just pure theater… effectively it’s meaningless," Berenson continued. "It’s actually theater in a good way for those of us that don’t support full national legalization."
