Maine has taken a significant step in marijuana justice with Governor Janet Mills signing a new law to facilitate the expungement of marijuana-related offenses.
This law allows individuals with convictions for marijuana possession and cultivation, where such acts have since been legalized, to petition for their records to be sealed. Unlike some states where expungement is automatic, Maine requires individuals to actively seek this remedy through the courts. This legislation positions Maine as the 25th state to enable such legal relief, reflecting a growing national trend toward rectifying the consequences of past marijuana prohibitions.
