The marijuana legalization initiative in Missouri, known as Amendment 3, has been making headlines recently, mostly thanks to its opponents who are campaigning against it. Now, the measure is getting positive attention because of provisions expunging cannabis-related offenses either automatically or through an appeals process.
With President Biden recently pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple cannabis possession and urging state governors to do the same, expungement provisions under Amendment 3 have become a topic of discussion. Especially since Governor Mike Parson’s office said he will not follow President’s recommendation and issue a mass pardon for state cannabis offenses, reported KCUR.
