Maryland Gov. Wes Moore pardons 175,000 marijuana convictions 

Smart Move! It’s utterly despicable that there are 175K convicted for marijuana. That is just very sad for this nation

Bottom line, he just saved the state a bunch of money. And.. it was the right thing to do.

Maybe he can now try putting murderers and carjackers IN JAIL?

This is what progressive leaders do. Forgiving and assisting people gain redemption is what real Christians do. God Bless You Wes Moore!

Great news. This is great.

Great news !!!

now now he has to pardon that bullsh*t convictions for "resisting arrest"

AMAZING

Forget Trump. Forget Biden. I WANT MOORE.

Awesome!

Legalize cannabis for medicinal use nationwide!

Just in time for the election!

For some strange reason millions across America look at weed like a bottle of beer, it is that common and every state in our union should make medical marijuana available to all our wounded warriors recovering from war wounds and memories that last for lifetimes …Why should veterans in some states have access and other states cage time?…Why treat adults like kids?.🤐

Run for president next.

Im just wondering how many of those convictions were the "lesser" charge in a plea deal? Or, how many were involved in a traffic stop, under the influence. Hmmmm......hope im wrong but time will tell.

Nice

It sounds like the idea is that pardoning a past conviction magically changes peoples perception of that past conviction.

Yay!

What are we going to do about the harassment we're about to get so they refill the prisons cause they're not having guard layoffs. Can we military skip rank training in a prison guard to military pipeline? Can guards that are voted by guys in be their teacher/ job coach/ P.O. on the outside? Can guys be voted by inmates into classes to be thier counselors on the outside?

Makes sense - First Step Act - Trump's Law.

Thats right dems baby

It will result in more DUI’s, and probably more auto accidents.

What about weed bust felonies

If he ran for president I’d switch back to Democratic Party. If Obama was like this, he would have been a better president. But he was uncourageous and pupated.

Every state should do the same.

he has to make sure those convictions are actually ERASED from people's record

IT WASN'T LOGICAL to lock people up for a tiny amount of weed. A waste fo taxpayers $$$

This needs to be done NATION WIDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve tried it, don’t like it. I don’t smoke it. I don’t drink either. But, way to go Maryland. You got this one right. This is really the best idea. I still won’t smoke it but I believe that others should be able too.

Good, now they can become productive citizens.

Bravo, this is a great start. I hope other states learn This is a positive step for all the citizens that have been brutalized by marijuana convictions. And the marijuana provision, we did it on alcohol years ago.

Convictions make ut harder for everyone getting a job sxcept for President, how absurd is that?

I never heard of you but you are such a light in a dark situation. You are freeing so many lives and giving back black freedom. I will never forget this.

This is great. This may help the fact that we, as a nation have 25% of the incarcerated people in the world, despite the U. S. Only having about 4% of the world's population. Our citizens aren't meaner, or more criminal minded than people in other countries. Good luck, all you people who were jailed for a roach. Best of luck to you . ☮️💋

This is good.

I don't even mess with weed but anyway..GOOD!!😊

The right thing to do!

Great news. Common sense.

I am having a weed party in Maryland to celebrate

I’ve been watching this man from across the country for a few yrs! He’ll be president one day! Smooth operator

Great!

GOOD FOR HIM

Yeah, he should run for President...

Set fathers free from prison !!

Forgiveness❤

Looks like a future democratic presidential candidate to me.

He should also expunge the convictions, too! Does the pardon expunge their records & are there programs in place to help them find jobs & emotionally adjust?

Great. Now please replace those individuals with shoplifters and repeat DUI offenders.

Make the pardon country wide

Brave, strong and well done.

Thank you. This will ensure primarily our black brothers and a few of our sisters will have access to the financial and educational resources needed to live in decency. Now this is the start to accountability, being reasonably responsible in response to grave injustice and hypocrisy. Yes there should be compensation. Not only for cannabis, but also for other racist convictions to disproportionately get rid of competition, oppress and disenfranchise.

That's great. There are alot of people in there with non-violent crimes and using, doing more time than 🍇 and p3deo. Maybe if he can make room he can keep carjackers and these thieves in there

That’s awesome 👏 history in progress certified method

❤❤❤❤ great news it's about time

Does this mean that the pardoned will be subject to the new draft being implemented?

This is a righteous man. Havent seen one in my entire life in politics. I appreciate him. He isndoing the right thing. Hats off to this young man. Hopefull the devils will follow but i doubt it

He sounds like a young Obama 😮

This is awesome you have blessed so many families and the Most High will bless you sir 😢😢😢😢, I’m not living in Maryland but so many oppressed families will be restored!! I love it 😍 maybe I’ll move here!!!

Good job Governor!God bless you!

As he should!

Beautiful!!!!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you Sir! Not one of them or no anyone but this disproportionately affects Blk Men!!!!!

Good for you; this should have been done throughout the country many years ago. Not saying that drug abuse is good, it’s not; but minor drug offenses should just be fined.

Crazy how alcohol is just normalized but throughout many states marijuana is deemed as evil.

This will make the prison industrial complex mad!!😅😅😅😅

Thanks Governor Moore.. I wish all states can do the same❤❤❤

SERIOUSLY, the best move of a governor in a long time! Those convicted of crimes that are no longer considered crimes should have been let out already --but at least it's happening!! Free up the prisons, let's get even & women out there working and helping our communities. Knowing there r folks doing like 20 years for possession of just pot is RIDICULOUS! Murderers get 5-10 all the time...I'm so glad marijuana is being recognized as a medical miracle for many of us! We need to focus on bigger things. SHOUT OUT GOV!!!! U run for Pres? I'll vote for ya!

What a great day for the State of Maryland and its citizens of color!!! The Governor is making the change to ensure that the wrongly convicted and overly charged and convicted are set free. He’s made history and people of color ARE THANKFUL 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽!! Thank you, Governor, we’re so grateful and proud!!!!

Well done Governor!!!! Love! Freedom! Logic! Common Sense! Kindness! Forgiveness! MORE MOORE PLEASE!!!! :D

About time, thank you Governor

Come on state of Oklahoma because I know Amazing WOMEN WHOM ARE IN OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS FOR THESE CRAZY CHARGES KIDS MISSING MOTHERS PLZ OKLAHOMA GET ON BOARD

I think this is wonderful.

We should pray for the God of freedom to free lot more people and legalize cannabis worldwide. If one state pardons 175K, still have tens of thousands in prison or not pardoned, then how many millions are still affected just inside u.s.? Although the guests made some good points, I think they under pressure Biden and misleading people on Trump, which helps Trump. Biden was among the delusional who raised the war against Cannabis, while Trump donating to his type and supported such harshed punishments. Although Trump said 'to hang drug dealers', he was not referring to marijuana, because he actually tried more than Biden on federal level. Both Trump and Biden are hypocritical and reluctant submitters on cannabis, because over 67% of Americans now support legalization. So they are doing tiny bits for votes, not necessarily to free the people and help the sick. Trump legalized hemp at federal level, but that was not good enough on many things I do not have time to elaborate on. Trump talked about federal medical cannabis for votes, but did not try to pass it. Rather than declassify, Biden should have tried multiple bills at federal level, because republicans will support federal medical cannabis, and many will fear to vote against even recreational cannabis. The efforts are not simply there, and partly because some useless black leaders keep on praising Biden for under-repenting? Even norml and other u.s cannabis activists wrongly praise Obama and Biden for tiny measures. Politics and life are about getting enough, not 'at least done something'. This pathetic 'at least' mindset make me despised average black people, from slavery days and up to date. When Bill Clinton fired a black lady for suggesting 'u.s should consider legalizing cannabis', black people did nothing and that was before social media and my type were sleeping? So Bush continue the jailing? Obama bravely promised legalization for votes, but did nothing at the federal level, except allow states to act. They over praised him. So white Trudeau of Canada promised and delivered? Trump and Biden promised and under deliver, but still get praises ... The efforts to fight marijuana then, the efforts to send weapons to ukraine and israel, etc are simply not demonstrated to legalize it. At the end, I have to pray to God, but If He gives me billions+, they will legalize it or beg for mercy? This governor still under repents. People lost and still losing housing, freedom, etc over a great blessing or forgivable and tolerable sin? May God be much better, end the respite of cruel politicians... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e1UAYrHkaV8.htmlsi=VNPM_V3WQzwXxnP3

Will he STOP the unwarranted, reported indentured servitude/enslavement, financial oppression, quiet killings happening through the personal hands of Baltimore City's Mayor?

They have money that grow on trees 🌲 that wasteful spending republicans as well as democrats not excluding you.. Can you find me an apartment Milwaukee sucks!!!!😢😢😢😢

Thanks gov. 💙

That’s a true leader!

How do I find out if I'm on the list of pardons,I plead guilty for manufacturing in 1993 , they had no product, just 4 bucket and dirt ,I plead guilty for the recommendation of no jail time fines and classes,am I on this list ? Does anyone know,?

Someone needs some votes!

Well done sir 🙏

This gave me chills for some reason. This is dope! (Pun intended) 😂 Now the country needs to decriminalize and declassify it as a schedule anything so us CDL drivers can get down on that wonderful medicine 💪🏽 Love me some Mary.

Well done Gov

I’ve tried it, don’t like it. I don’t smoke it. I don’t drink either. But, way to go Maryland. You got this one right. This is really the best idea. I still won’t smoke it but I believe that others should be able too.

And Michael Knaapen was this governor's fund raiser. Protect your children Maryland.

How about taking accountability for your own actions, nobody forced a joint to their lips. Stop yelling everybody hates me.

I'm really grateful, but, like... I can't remember what I was convicted of.

Great news!!!!!

Good for him !! Marijuana should be federally legal !! Marijuana is a free growing herb. Meth on the other hand, kills.

Maryland Governor .. outstanding 👏… respect Australia

Coolest thing I've ever heard. That's Government working for the people.

Although that's an OKay thing to do i find the timing politically opportunist...

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Now is time to issue pardons nationwide. Thank you Gov Moore.

Read this guys book. Glad people like him are in places of power.
