Rais Joe Biden amewasamehe Wamarekani wote ambao wamepatikana na hatia katika ngazi ya kitaifa ya kumiliki kiasi kidogo cha bangi. Maafisa wanakadiria takriban watu 6,500 walio na hatia ya kupatikana na bangi watafaidika na msamaha huo.
Kwa sasa hakuna mtu aliyefungwa kupitia shirikisho kwa kupatikana na bangi pekee. Hukumu nyingi hutokea katika ngazi ya serikali. Lakini msamaha wa shirikisho utarahisisha watu kupata ajira, nyumba, na elimu, Bw Biden alisema.
Akiwa mgombea urais, Bw Biden aliahidi kuhalalisha matumizi ya bangi, na pia kufuta hatia.
"Kuwapeleka watu gerezani kwa kupatikana na bangi kumeongeza maisha ya watu wengi na kuwafunga watu kwa tabia ambayo majimbo mengi hayakatazi tena," Bw Biden alisema.
=========================
President Joe Biden has pardoned all Americans who have been convicted at the national level of possessing small amounts of marijuana.
Officials estimate about 6,500 people with federal convictions for simple possession of marijuana will benefit.
No-one is currently in federal prison solely for possession of marijuana. Most convictions occur at state level.
But the federal pardons will make it easier for people to get employment, housing, and education, Mr Biden said.
As a presidential candidate, Mr Biden promised to decriminalise cannabis use, as well as expunging convictions.
"Sending people to prison for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives and incarcerated people for conduct that many states no longer prohibit," Mr Biden said on Thursday.
He added that racial minorities were statistically far more likely to be jailed for cannabis.
As a White House candidate, Mr Biden was criticised for writing a 1994 crime bill that stiffened penalties for drug crimes and led to more incarceration of racial minorities.
