Marijuana Expungement

Beginning Jan. 1, 2020, adults over the age of 21 will be able to legally purchase cannabis from state-licensed dispensaries. Part of the new law is a provision to automatically expunge cannabis possession arrests that didn’t lead to a conviction for amounts up to 30 grams (excluding offenses connected to a violent crime).This pertains to hundreds of thousands of Illinois residents, with many others impacted by a provision through which the governor will grant pardons authorizing expungement for convictions for up to 30 grams. If you were convicted of larger amounts, up to 500 grams, you’ll have to file a motion to vacate your record. #marijuanaexpungement, #cannabisexpungement,

A new Ilinois law provides for wiping out low level convictions and arrests for marijuana possession. The law provides for automatic expungement  of arrest records for marijuana possession under 30 grams. Expungement means police arrest records will be destroyed and court records will be wiped away from public view.  To make that happen, Illinos State Police will compile records of all eligible defendants, and police will wipe their records clean on their own.
