Governor of Nevada Pardons Thousands With Marijuana Convictions

Governor of Nevada Pardons Thousands With Marijuana Convictions

Nevada residents that have been convicted of low-level marijuana possession could receive pardons under a new measure implemented by Governor Steve Sisolak, according to Marijuana Moment.

In 2019 the governor put into effect a bill that allowed people with cannabis convictions for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana to petition the court to expunge their record.


According to the publication, the board will meet on Wednesday, June 17 to discuss the resolution regarding pardons for people convicted of minor marijuana possession.  Pardons do not void convictions, however they can restore the right to vote, own a firearm, or serve on a jury.

Nevada will not be the first state to offer pardons, governors of both Washington State and Illinois have issued pardons since cannabis was legalized in their states.

Other state officials have argued that marijuana reform is a big step in addressing racial inequities.  Virginia governor Ralph Northam said that marijuana decriminalization represents one way his state is addressing racial inequities that inspired mass protests over police killings of black Americans.

Here, The Bluntness charts the changing depiction of marijuana users in film and TV over the last 85 years or so, and digs in to what these stoner movies might tell us about the changing cultural attitudes around pot in pop culture.

Iranian Weed: Epic Mag Strain

The sprawling mountains of Iran bloom with native flora every year: elms and ironwood trees, tulips and daffodils, even something called Dwarf Eelgrass. But scattered throughout the forests and flowerbeds, like in neighboring Afghanistan and Pakistan, another flower has been thriving for thousands of years: cannabis.

Through Iranian genetics sourcing, cannabis in Iran is collected from specific regions, emphasizing the unique and wild plant varieties.

Sex on Shrooms: How to Prepare Yourself

If you've tripped on psilocybin (a.k.a., magic mushrooms) before, you're already well aware what an intense experience it can be. And if shrooms can take an average activity like listening to music to an entirely different universe, you can probably imagine what sex on shrooms might feel like.
