GOP Senator Leads Bipartisan Effort To Seal Low-Level Marijuana Possession Records, Providing 'Second Chance'
Republican U.S. Senator Rand Paul was busy last week. What Happened: In addition to introducing a measure that aims to relax federal constraints on hemp by tripling the allowable THC content from 0.3% to 1%, he proposed another cannabis-related bill.The Clean Slate Act would allow individuals convicted of simple drug possession and other low-level, nonviolent crimes involving marijuana to request record sealing. That's for offenses that aren't eligible for automatic relief.
