The governor will pardon misdemeanor charges for people who were found guilty of possessing small amounts of marijuana.

Baltimore City makes up about 25% of the convictions being pardoned, the governor's office said.

More than 150,000 of the convictions being pardoned are misdemeanors for simple possession of cannabis, and another 18,000 misdemeanors are for use or possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia.
