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.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned. Many cannabis candles feature complex scent profiles, including notes of amber, which contribute to a rich and layered aromatic experience.

        Who Discovered Weed? The Ancient Origins of Cannabis
    
Trying to tell the story of ancient cannabis is like trying to guess the picture on a puzzle with the majority of the pieces missing. Most of what we know about the historic uses of cannabis come from sparse archaeological evidence and oft doggy translations of texts that are thousands of years old. We can make some educated guesses, but, in the end, the more answers we discover, the more questions we unveil. 
Nevertheless, thanks to changing public opinion and waves of legalization, cannabis research is getting prime-time attention. As a result, we know more about the origins of cannabis than we have ever before—and now it’s time to recover some of our long-lost history.
