LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson has responded to the proposal for marijuana decriminalization made Thursday afternoon by Pres. Joe Biden.
In his announcement, Biden stated he would pardon everyone who had been federally convicted of simple possession of marijuana and also urged governors to take similar action.
In addition, Biden said he was asking the Secretary of Health and Human Services “expeditiously” review marijuana’s classification as a Schedule I drug.
In his response to Biden’s announcement, Hutchinson opposed any loosening of legal restrictions on marijuana, calling the president’s proposal a “surrender.”
