Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has signed an executive order to issue more than 175,000 pardons for misdemeanor marijuana convictions.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore ordered more than 175,000 pardons for marijuana convictions on Monday, saying the “most sweeping state-level pardon in any state” will help reverse harms from the past caused by the war on drugs. During a news conference, Moore said the executive order will affect “tens of thousands of Marylanders' convicted of misdemeanors. Some may have had more than one conviction pardoned through the process.
Moore noted that even though Jordan went back to college and now works for the Center for Urban Families in Baltimore, he still had the cannabis conviction on his record. “Well today, that ends,' Moore said. Jordan said he was thankful that his experience could be used as a testimony “and offer a lot of change for the people of Maryland.
