Colorado residents can now legally posses up to 2 ounces of marijuana after a bill was signed into law doubling the possession limit for adults 21 and older. 

Governor Jared Polis said that he will now issue additional pardons under the new law to residents convicted of low-level marijuana possession crimes. 

The bills sponsor, Representative Alex Valdez, said that “cannabis isn’t worth haunting people’s efforts to get housing or a job, and we are taking meaningful efforts to help people get on with their lives.”
