Will this open hiring options for government agencies?

Will nonviolent drug dealers be released from prison?

Most people convicted of nonviolent drug crimes are in state prisons and cannot be freed by the federal government, but the administration has been issuing pardons and commutations over the past several years for the small number of people that have federal cannabis convictions.

Ah interesting. So does that mean nonviolent prisoners may have already been released in the states with “legal” weed?
