when cannabis was legalized this fall, half a million Canadians with simple possession charges became eligible for a legal pardon. It’s a step in the right direction, according to Enenajor, director of the Cannabis Amnesty campaign. The defence attorney, who became a named partner at Clayton Ruby’s firm at age 34, says cannabis convictions disproportionately affect racialized and Indigenous populations and can get in the way of job and rent applications, cross-border travel and custody hearings. She aims to do something about it.
