Maura Healey's plan to pardon convictions for simple cannabis possession expressed their support Tuesday, a day before the governor is set to provide details of her proposal at a State House news conference.
"I think we need to do vetting and research, and find out the full ramifications of it all, before we make an informed decision," the Swansea Democrat said. DePalo said he was"curious how far this thing is going to go, and whether we overlap with things that happened in school zones, or how it's interacting with intent to distribute."
The move for a blanket pardon has emerged as not just a plank in the platform of cannabis activists, but as a priority of equity and restorative justice advocates, too. Among those scheduled to join Healey on the Grand Staircase for her 10 a.m. Wednesday announcement are Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll, Attorney General Andrea Campbell, Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy and Senate President Karen Spilka.
