WRONG! This is where Black folk get confused. We are emotional people and fail to think ECONOMICALLY. Gov. Moore pardons is an excellent move. However, this something that he should have done when he first got into office. This is a political move of the DEMOCRACTIC party to get Blacks to vote for Joe Biden. His pardons DO NOT give Black people any TANGIBLES.

Releasing them is only the first step; he needs to provide them with the same free benefits given to these illegal immigrants (free housing, debit cards, and jobs).

The taxpayers pay court costs and inmate housing expenses for these low level small amount offenses. Not to mention the criminal record to exclude you from earning a honest living. The corporations benefit from legalization, so why not? Good move and I am an independent voter.

Do you think that this freed 100% black males? Democrats will take this as a "what they did for all black people" I'm black and never been to jail/prison. Let me know when they come up with a anti black crime bill that will protect us from this wrongful prosecution. Or reparations, that benefits specifically black people for the handle that Maryland played in slavery.

While a pardon is better than nothing, ALL cannabis and cannabis paraphernalia charges should be expunged, erased by a court order, to treat the conviction as if it never happened, removing it from the defendant's criminal record and the public record.
