Last year, Massachusetts passed a law making it easier for residents to expunge marijuana crimes that have since been decriminalized from their records. But the process still isn’t automatic, writes NikDeCostaKlipa for WBUR Today.
. Shout out to my colleagues Meagan McGinnes and Hanna Ali for keeping this newsletter on the tracks yesterday during my extra-long Presidents Day weekend.making it easier for residents to expunge marijuana crimes that have since been decriminalized from their records.. So, this weekend, a company with dispensaries in Massachusetts is hoping to give locals a helping hand. WBUR’s Amy Sokolow reports that Ayr Wellness is planning to hold an “expungement clinic” Saturday from noon to 2 p.m.
Khari Edwards, Ayr’s head of corporate social responsibility, told Sokolow that the inaugural series expunged records for 200 people last year, including 36 in Massachusetts. But he estimates that there is still “well over a six-figure” number of people in the state who need to go through the process.
