statement<\/a> yesterday announcing three steps aimed at improving the country's relationship with cannabis, the first of which is to pardon all federal marijuana possession prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is due to the fact that the USA has a strong tradition of autonomy on the part of its states and this is how in states such as Texas or Washington cannabis is legal, while in the vast majority it was totally prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a second step, the president urges all governors to replicate this decision, arguing that just as there should not be prisoners in federal prisons for marijuana possession, there should not be prisoners in state or local jails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the final step, it directs the Department of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General's Office to re-evaluate the legal status of cannabis, a first step towards federal regulation and legalization of cannabis in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\"
