PHOENIX — The Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County has granted more than 3,600 petitions for expungement to clear marijuana convictions since July with hundreds of people applying each week.
The passage of Proposition 207 in November legalized the recreational use of marijuana for adults 21 and over while also allowing people to petition the court to have their marijuana conviction expunged.
The Superior Court of Arizona said in a press release Monday that an average of 650 people a week are filing petitions with the court to have felony marijuana-related convictions wiped off their records.
