# Can old marijuana convictions be expunged in Rhode Island?

Yes. The Rhode Island Cannabis Act directed the automatic expungement of prior civil and criminal marijuana possession convictions for amounts that are now legal, with the process required to be completed by July 1, 2024. If you believe your old record should have been cleared automatically, a lawyer can confirm whether it was and file a petition if it was missed.
