JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) – Following President Biden’s recent order to pardon everyone convicted of simple marijuana possession charges, officials in Tennessee say the pardon won’t make much of an impact here.

“If there comes a time in Tennessee where the laws change, then I’ll abide by it, but at this point [marijuana] is still illegal and we’ll prosecute it,” said District Attorney of the Third District Dan Armstrong.

Armstrong says that if people are charged with possession, there are ways it can eventually be taken off their record. “If they’re charged, if they do their probation and pay their fines, those things are expugnable and they get it taken off their record.”

Nice to know that officials will abide by federal law.
