Promise Details
In her 2019 presidential campaign and later as vice president, Harris promised to decriminalize marijuana and expunge past convictions nationwide. She cited racial justice and reform as key motivations. While Biden signed a limited pardon for simple possession and directed a review of scheduling, full federal decriminalization legislation never passed Congress.
Why it is broken
While certain pardons and reviews occurred, Congress did not pass a comprehensive federal decriminalization law and major system-wide expungement was not completed. Promise remains unfulfilled.
