Marijuana Expungement: Proposition 207 was passed by Arizona voters in 2020. The initiative legalized 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. For further details visit www.azexpunge.org.

The clinic will be held at the Greenlee County Courthouse on Tuesday, March 29, from 1 – 4 p.m.

*The Reclaim Your Future campaign is organized by the Arizona Marijuana Expungement Coalition and is funded by the Arizona Department of Health Services to help people seal their marijuana-related conviction histories. Our Coalition is composed of community legal services and advocacy organizations from across Arizona.
