Nearly 60,000 cannabis convictions will be dismissed by Los Angeles County George Gascón, his office announced Monday.

Gascón’s move to dismiss this round of drug convictions continues the impact of Proposition 64, which in 2016 made marijuana legal in California. Sealing these records will allow people were convicted of marijuana use or possession to seek out new jobs, citizenship, and educational opportunities without a conviction hanging over their heads.

As for me, I will refrain (musicians like to refrain). I have no problem with the law changes on legalization but for me, I have no interest at all. Even given my craft beer love, I don't drink more than one a night. I don't care for cloudy brain (and may have some control issues which include self-control).

The croc must have thought it was a low-flying bird.
