“I would certainly expand medical marijuana. If it’ll help somebody, I’m for it. Whatever it is. I mean, a toothache, I don’t care. If it’s a cure, if it [alleviates] pain, we should be able to use that.”

“We are finally cleaning up some of the inequities of the past by pardoning 2,732 convictions for Coloradans who simply had an ounce of marijuana or less.”
^ On Oct. 1, Gov. Jared Polis extended full and unconditional pardons to Coloradans convicted of simple possession of up to 1 ounce of cannabis, the governor’s office announced. Colorado’s House Bill 1424, which the General Assembly passed earlier this year, included a provision that allows the governor to pardon those who have convictions on their criminal records for possessing up to 2 ounces of marijuana—the current legal limit for medical marijuana users—but the governor only pardoned those with convictions of up to 1 ounce.
