Governor Moore also elaborated on his decision to grant pardons to individuals convicted of low-level marijuana offenses. He believes this action is a step toward rectifying the disproportionate impact of the war on drugs on communities of color.
"It is time to end the failed and harmful approach to marijuana that has led to mass incarceration," Moore explained. "By pardoning these convictions, we are creating a fairer and more just criminal justice system."
