Illinois govenor announced the forgiveness and expungement of about half a million criminal cannabis cases. He issued pardons for 9210 low-level cannabis convictions, while Illinois State Police have wiped clean more than 492,000 non-felony cannabis related arrest records. The expungement process is part of the state law that legalized licensed sales of marijuana starting in 2020. It is meant to reduce the impact of the war on drugs under which minorities were disproportionately arrested and locked up for cannabis crimes, despite similar reported rates of usage. #expungement, #expungementcannabis,
