TUCSON, Ariz. — If you walk a mile in Araceli’s shoes, you’ll realize her life at one point wasn’t exactly a breeze.She’s said that’s because of a charge she got for drug paraphernalia back in 2016.
Jamie Ibrahim, an attorney and expungement advocate with the Reclaim Your Future campaign said they’re clarifying the law.Prop 207 is what allowed adults to start using marijuana recreationally and lets some people people get their records expunged. She said the process to expunge the records will be the same as other marijuana-related charges that are eligible. As for the process, she said it will take a few months but can take longer if an appeal is needed.
“A lot of people that are charged with sales of marijuana are trying to help other people that don’t have a medical marijuana card,” she said.
