ALAMEDA COUNTY (KRON) — Alameda County is reminding those convicted of marijuana-related crimes that they can have them wiped away.
When voters legalized recreational marijuana, Proposition 64 also allowed those with marijuana convictions to have them reduced or even expunged.
Alameda County has been doing that for more than a year now, but still has thousands to go.
“California is offering a second chance to people convicted of cannabis crimes, from felonies to small infractions, with the opportunity to have their criminal records cleared,” Alameda County D.A. Nancy O’Malley said.
