Glad somebody in a leadership position finally acknowledged this. If a state is gonna legalize pot, they need to pardon all marijuana related arrests. It's simply the right thing to do.

I would say all non violent marijuana related arrests ... although one could vacate the weed issue and still incarcerate for violence ... But if all it took was a seed, a portion of an ounce... yep. Erase those convictions.

@jonniecade3289: He's done an okay job on some things. I wish this brother success on this endeavor. The way he can demonstrate "Real leadership", is to cancel that asinine California mandate that his state adopted. Forcing Marylandners to buy EVs, is not beneficial to folks living in Baltimore, Cumberland, Frostburg, etc. They are, overall, more of a hassle than they're worth. A good leader would listen to the people who installed them, not make life altering decisions/create inconveniences for them. Time will tell on the direction of Maryland.
