Governor Wes Moore and NAACP President Derrick Johnson are championing the state's historic mass cannabis pardon. This move is set to unlock economic opportunities for those affected by criminalization. 🌿💼 But there's more to be done! Gov. Moore is emphasizing the importance of spreading the word about the next steps for many who still need their records expunged. 🗣️ Over the past few weeks, Gov. Moore has been highlighting the 175,000 pardons he issued for cannabis possession and paraphernalia convictions, earning praise from the White House and leaders like Colorado Gov. Jared Polis. In recent Instagram live videos, he discussed this milestone with NAACP President Derrick Johnson and activist Brittany Packnett Cunningham. “You can’t celebrate the benefits of legalization if you do not wrestle with the consequences of criminalization,” Moore said. “This is just basic fairness.” #cannabisnews #socialjustice #NAACP #cannabiscommunity

The NCAA has officially removed marijuana from its banned substances list for Division I players, effective immediately. 🚫🌿 This change comes five months after the Division I Council proposed the rule, recognizing that cannabis isn't a performance-enhancing drug and should be treated like alcohol. This reform builds on a 2022 update that increased the allowable THC threshold for college athletes, aligning NCAA rules with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). 🏅🌍 #cannabisnews #NCAA #cannabis #collegeathletes

Policy changes in the U.S. have led to around 2.5 million expungements or pardons for cannabis convictions, according to NORML and the AP. However, NORML’s deputy director Paul Armentano points out that this is “a drop in the bucket” compared to the 30 million+ marijuana arrests over the past 50 years. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore recently issued pardons for cannabis possession and paraphernalia, affecting at least 175,000 convictions. Other states like Massachusetts, Nevada, and Oregon have also issued major pardons in recent years. #cannabisnews #cannabisreform #socialjustice

Step into the Union Square outpost of Travel Agency, and you might not immediately realize you’re in a cannabis store—until you see the six-foot-tall sculpture of an immaculately rolled joint in the foyer. Designed by the architecture firm Leong Leong, this space rivals New York City's chic retail spots like Khaites, Kiths, and Aesops, proving that great retail is about more than just transactions. With an egg-shaped Space Age sign, contoured ceiling, soft lighting, and a long white counter, it feels like a blend of Saarinen’s TWA terminal and a James Turrell sculpture. 🌟 #cannabisdesign #NYCcannabis #cannabis #art
