Oregon Governor Issues Blanket Pardon for Marijuana

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) “announced Monday that she is issuing a pardon for Oregonians who have been convicted of simple possession of marijuana,” the Oregonian reports.

“The pardon is for people convicted of possessing one ounce or less of marijuana, in pre-2016 cases, in which the person was 21 years or older. Brown’s pardon applies in cases where possession was the only charge, and there were no victims.”
