Finish the job. "Criminalization" still exists at the Federal level, particularly per the Department of Transportation. They say, "We want to assure the traveling public that out transportation system is the safest it can possibly be." Therefore, marujuana remains on the list "Schedule 1 of Controlled Substances Act" Controlled.
There is no reason to believe that marijuana is likely to be used on the job any more than alcohol among Federal worker's or those working in transportion who fall under Federal drug guidlines. There is also no reason to believe that marijuana would affect the driving abilities of these trusted and responsible employee's even after more than a few hours following recreational use. Especially when the "public" is trusted to endulge at any given time. The public uses our roadways and obviously has far less professional driver training or knowledge than someone who drives for a Transit. In any scenario, a car is far more likely to crash into a Transit vehicle, endangering it's passenger's than the other way around.
Black and Brown employees overwelmingly support our Transportation system. It might appear discriminatory that recreational use of marijuana remains a "criminal act" for those individuals, which is the case for the general public.
Amazing it was ever illegal, a testament itself to racism and the failings of conservatism and underwhelming education. Harry Anslinger hurt hundreds of millions of people just to keep his cushy job.
. Hey Guys. . . . Just read a buncha the comments. I didn't see any from the MAGA minions! ! . . . (Could it be that a well spoken & obviously educated black man intimidates them?)
You did it in reverse. B4 the 'rollout' you should add these to the legalization legislation. You wanted to get that money rolling and get wt boys the necessary advantages cistomized just for them. We know the game. .
Smart Move Governor They are Political Prisoners. Name the New Bridge The Frederick Douglass Bridge. Thanks for Coming to Girard College in Philadelphia. Biden Harris , Congratulations..
From 2020-2022, the House/Senate & Presidency were fully controlled by Democrats. They failed to pass federal legalization of Marijuana as well as many other things that are talking points for this election cycle. They had the power to change everything & anything they wanted & still chose to do nothing.
Wonderful move in the right direction economically and personal freedoms Congratulation a to I think it is Maryland he represents east coast rocking forward not backwards drag the rest of the country behind you
GOOD!! They didn’t need to be in the criminal Justice system just for a plant that has health benefits!! Lock up the pharmaceutical industry instead!! They poison us!!
This is really good news..When you consider the fact that the USA makes up for 4% of the world population, but accounts for 25% of all worlds prisoners.. you know something is off.
Yeah that's fair. If something is rightfully made legal, then anyone affected by it when it was illegal should have their slate clean. Otherwise its cheap noise and unfair.
I am glad someone is trying to keep the check and balances. But does the pardon also strike their offenses from their records? Because just getting out of jail doesn’t mean that they won’t get criminalized in the real world when looking for employment etc..
California is making a lot of money taxing legal recreational marijuana. And the number of inmates in California State prisons has dropped by at least 50,000 inmates.
Hope they don’t let the pot heads drive the boats you need to save the bridges.
Now the litter lined roads of the dc suburbs with liquor stores on nearly every corner smell of weed. Is that Equity?
Thank you Gov. Moore! We are so lucky to have a progressive Gov. like you.

When I was young, and smoked weed, I always thought that if you were stupid enough to get caught smoking weed, then you deserved to be put in jail.
It's an election year. What took him so long? What a joke

Getting someone out of prison is one thing but helping them to explain why there's a fifteen year gap in their employment history is another
Good deal. Putting someone in prison for smoking something less harmful than tobacco? Come on!
Well said sir.
Way to use pardoning power the right way…
I am so impressed with this man.
I call this doing the right thing.. I like this man's frequency. Feels like he's a good man.

Finally, a battle won on the side of justice!
Yeah that's fair. If something is rightfully made legal, then anyone affected by it when it was illegal should have their slate clean. Otherwise its cheap noise and unfair.
So good job.
Wow what a politician. 175,000 votes bought and paid for. Change the law????
How many people are still in prison for breaking laws that have been overturned? Don't they deserve reparations?
Should be done nationwide.
Well done!

Normal nice. Yes roll back those convictions!
WOW I Like.His Logic & Leadership! Bravo Sir!
Wow, someone in politics that isn’t creepy, seems really down to earth, and is actually helping people! That’s different

No one should have to go to jail for having a joint
The prison industrial complex is not happy with this.
This guy is thinking about his voters.
