"The reason we are doing this is because now it is something that is legal, and the consequences of the criminal record are disproportionate to the seriousness of the offense," Bardsley said, adding that the pardons would apply specifically to possession for personal use and "not for traffic, we are not talking about distributors or producers or anyone of that type".
