BALTIMORE -- Maryland Gov. Wes Moore pardoned more than 175,000 marijuana convictions Monday in a sweeping executive order. It impacts misdemeanor charges for people who were found guilty of possessing small amounts of marijuana.

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.

"Today we take a big step in enacting the kinds of policies that can reverse the harm of the past and to help us to work together to build a brighter future," the governor said at a press conference Monday. "This is a really big deal."
