Cholla in Peoria for a FREE legal clinic where you can get your marijuana conviction sealed from public records and have your rights restored! Qualified attorneys and support staff will help you begin the process of expungement. Proposition 207 also known as the Smart & Safe Act was passed by Arizona voters in 2020 legalizing personal possession and use of recreational marijuana. It also allowed for people who had arrests or prior convictions for possession of marijuana to have those records expunged. Expungement means that prior marijuana-related records will be sealed to the public. Prior convictions and arrest records can be a significant barrier to gainful employment safe housing education financial assistance and other critical services. The clinic will help individuals understand the legal process and provide free legal assistance to get people through the legal process. What offenses qualify for expungement?
