Story
Maryland Governor Wes Moore to Pardon 175,000 Marijuana Convictions on Juneteenth
Jun 17, 2024, 01:15 AM
Maryland Governor Wes Moore will issue a mass pardon of more than 175,000 marijuana convictions on Monday morning during a ceremony at the State House. This act is one of the nation’s most sweeping acts of clemency involving a drug now in widespread recreational use. The blanket pardon will forgive decades of low-level marijuana possession charges for an estimated 100,000 people. This action coincides with Juneteenth and addresses the disproportionate impact on Black Americans.
