    Deshaun Durham, 24, was to spend 92 months in the Hutchinson Correctional Facility for a first-time cannabis defense, but now he walked free Friday morning.

    Gov. Laura Kelly on Nov. 7 overturned the Kansas Prison Review Board’s rejection of Durham’s clemency application, allowing him to return home for the holidays.

    “Today is a big victory in the barbaric and senseless war on a scientifically-proven medicinal plant, cannabis,” Durham said in a written statement.
