This is nice
This is the best summary I could come up with:
"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.
Moore told the Washington Post he's acting to heal decades of social and economic injustice that disproportionately harmed people of color.
"If you want to be able to create inclusive economic growth, it means you have to start removing these barriers that continue to disproportionately sit on communities of color."
"This impact is a triumphant victory for African Americans and other Marylanders of color who were disproportionately arrested, convicted, and sentenced for actions yesterday that are lawful today," Attorney General Anthony Brown said.
President Biden pardoned thousands of people in 2022 to decriminalize the drug and address racial disparities in the justice system.
The act restores the civil liberties lost as a result of a conviction, but it doesn't expunge a person's criminal record.
The original article contains 611 words, the summary contains 162 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This makes me want to vote for REPUBLICANS!
-Republicans who want to Legalize Weed.
There's an insane amount of overlap of "those degenerate druggies deserve to rot in prison for life" and "weed should never have been illegal and we should legalize it" around where I live.
In fact, the thing that brought it to my attention in the first place was a family friend and I talking about people we knew in highschool, and he mentioned how one guy got arrested for having "half a dozen" (sidenote: I feel saying half a dozen is trying to make "six" sound more impressive) pot plants and obviously was a "major dealer", and how he never would have guessed how evil some people are from how they were in highschool.
I asked him what ELSE he had to get 10 YEARS and of course the answer wasalong the lines of "no, that was it but what more do you need? Obviously a messed up guy"
And would you like to know why I called him a hypocritical piece of shit and decided to find someone else to talk to?
He pulls out a thc vape several times while we're talking. You can't mistake that smell for anything else.
I guess what makes men TRULY evil is whether mild thing they're doing is currently illegal or not. When it's legalized? Smoking is totally fine. When it's illegal? Smoking is bad and you are evil for even considering it. Know your place, Peasant.
At least that's the vibe I got from that guy.
