Dank Brandon

So ok… President Joe Biden signed the “Proclamation on Granting Pardon for the Offense of Simple Possession of Marijuana” which grants over 6,000 pardons for simple marijuana possession (and yeah, that’s a thing, even if it isn’t so simple, so chill out in the comments unless you’ve googled 21 U.S.C. 844). Anyway, I celebrated accordingly.
