175,000 miscreants were officially pardoned by the governor of Maryland today. Since the voters approved the sale of cannabis in the state, all those who were convicted of misdemeanor violations have been pardoned by state mandate from the governor's office. This will in effect liberate these individuals who have a police record of convictions for low lever crimes such as possession of marijuana/cannabis products. Essentially, these people will now have clean records. Some will have to apply for expungement , some will not. depends on several factors. However, it will send a message across the USA that finally, policy is catching up with the times and the law as perceived by the adult population.
Well done Maryland
