Overview
Marijuana expungement arizona petitions clear qualifying cannabis convictions from your record under Proposition 207 — the Smart and Safe Arizona Act passed by voters in November 2020. Unlike a set-aside, an arizona marijuana expungement actually seals the record and allows you to truthfully answer "no" when asked about the conviction. Your Phoenix Attorney handles marijuana phoenix, marijuana scottsdale, marijuana scottsdale az, scottsdale marijuana, marijuana tucson az, and all marijuana conviction expungement petitions statewide.
We also handle federal marijuana expungement and resentencing matters where available. Call 623-335-4014 to find out if your conviction qualifies.

What Is Marijuana Expungement (Prop 207) in Arizona?
ARS §36-2862 — created by Prop 207 — allows expungement of convictions for:
- Possession, consumption, or transportation of 2.5 ounces or less of marijuana (of which not more than 12.5 grams was concentrate).
- Possession, transportation, cultivation, or processing of six or fewer marijuana plants at the petitioner's primary residence.
- Possession, use, or transportation of paraphernalia related to the cultivation, manufacture, processing, or consumption of marijuana.
Penalties & Consequences
Once granted, an expungement order requires the court, DPS, and any arresting agency to clear the record of arrest, charge, adjudication, conviction, and sentence. You may then state that the arrest, charge, and conviction never happened — on job applications, license applications, and in most other contexts.
