Maryland Gov. Wes Moore made history Monday by signing an executive order to pardon 100,000 Marylanders convicted of low-level marijuana charges. A total of 175,000 convictions were pardoned. The order was the largest pardon for misdemeanor cannabis possession charges for any state in the country. Including drug paraphernalia in the order makes Maryland the first state to take this kind of action, according to Moore’s office.
