President Joe Biden says his administration is “working on” plans to fulfill his campaign pledge to free people who are incarcerated for marijuana. This marks the first time that the president has publicly made a substantive comment about cannabis policy since taking office more than a year ago.
“I don’t think anyone should be in prison for the use of marijuana,” Biden said in response to a reporter’s question on Saturday night after stepping off Marine One on the White House lawn.
The president told The New York Post’s Steven Nelson that “we’re working on” the issue, though he then added a few words that reporters weren’t able to immediately decipher over the sound of helicopter blades rotating in the background. Some thought he might be saying the administration is working on “timing” for a cannabis move, while others heard him mention a “crime bill”—though it’s not clear what that would be referring to.
