Wiz Khalifa praises President Biden’s approach to marijuana reform: ‘Moving in the right direction’

Wiz Khalifa praised President Joe Biden for his steps to end the criminalization of marijuana possession and use.

The 35-year-old rapper spoke to TMZ Hip Hop on the 79-year-old president’s marijuana reform measures he announced earlier this week.

“It’s great to see things moving in the right direction,” said Wiz Khalifa. “Cannabis laws have negatively impacted people for far too long.”

Earlier this week, Joe Biden released a video announcing three major changes to the federal criminalization of marijuana.

First, the president announced a federal pardon for all people convicted of simple marijuana possession.

He then called on state governors to also pardon those convicted of state marijuana possession.
