Today, Maura announced that she’s pardoning hundreds of thousands in Massachusetts who were convicted of simple marijuana possession in the past. It’s the most comprehensive action of its kind by a governor.

Even though cannabis was decriminalized in Massachusetts in 2016, past charges can pose challenges - creating roadblocks to getting jobs, signing an apartment lease, or getting into college.

The criminalization of marijuana possession disproportionately affected communities of color and low-income individuals, leading to a cycle of incarceration and limited economic opportunities.

By fulfilling her campaign promise to pardon those convicted of simple marijuana possession, Maura is sending a clear message that Massachusetts is committed to promoting fairness, equity, and compassion.

Maura is building a Massachusetts where no one is left behind. And today was a big day for that.
