Other states that have begun permitting marijuana's sale and use created procedures for people to expunge minor drug offenses, but Illinois officials wanted the process to be almost automatic for people with non-violent marijuana arrests or convictions on their records.
Pritzker's office said 92 of the state's 102 counties are represented among the pardons announced Tuesday. People who have been convicted of offenses involving more than 30 grams of marijuana in Illinois can file court petitions to clear those records. Local prosecutors and legal aid organizations also can take that step independently.Illinois regulators said 34 dispensaries have been issued licenses to sell recreational marijuana starting Wednesday, but not all of them plan to participate immediately. Industry leaders have warned consumers to expect long lines and potential shortages of products.
I hope they restore voting rights as well
iamdocd99 Will they be returning the children as well?
uk should do somthing like this
Another step in the right direction
Illinois just made a fortune by reducing the prison population. Victimless crimes are a stupid reason to incarcerate. Fines make more sense when society is faced with redressing these types of crimes.
Great idea GovernorVA many people are suffering with fines and records over recreational marijuana, or in the case of our 21 year old son who uses it for for anxiety because the medication he was of for years has too many side effects. Let do this, we won Va because we fought.
It's just a plant.
