marijuana pardons don’t count, correct

bought Ṁ250 NO

@RyanMcComb from the fine print at the url in the description:

“Also excluded from this chart are individual members of a class of persons granted pardons by proclamation, such as President Carter’s proclamation granting clemency to certain Vietnam era offenders, and persons granted clemency after action by President Ford’s Presidential Clemency Board because those petitions were not processed through the Office of the Pardon Attorney.  The Office of the Pardon Attorney does not maintain statistics on those categories of grants and has no documentation to support them.”

I believe the marijuana pardons were by proclamation.

Warning to future traders: Previous version of this question resolved YES on a technicality with unclear resolution criteria which changed so as to have been resolvable before ever creating the question.

@DiegoZamalloaChion Thank you. That was not intentional, as I had not been aware of the marijuana pardons, but I am of the opinion that N/A would have been an inappropriate resolution.
