Expungement of Cannabis Convictions in Massachusetts
On March 13, 2024, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy announced that she would issue pardons to all state residents who had misdemeanor marijuana convictions. This follows a presidential proclamation made by President Joe Biden on October 6, 2022, which urged state leaders to pardon simple marijuana possession offenses and violations.
Gov. Healy suggested that the expungement criteria will apply to thousands of Massachusetts residents, with no exceptions and no strenuous qualifications. Citizens may apply for expungement of a cannabis-related legal offense in the Commonwealth if they have a state court misdemeanor conviction for possession of marijuana (Class D substance) received before March 13, 2024.
“Marijuana laws have significantly changed over the past decade, and it’s essential that our criminal justice system adjusts with them. Governor Healey’s proposed pardon represents an important step toward righting historic wrongs, particularly around our country’s misguided War on Drugs.
We thank the Governor’s Council for their careful consideration of this recommendation and look forward to continuing our progress to make Massachusetts a more fair and equitable home for all.” —Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll
How To Apply For Expungement Of A Cannabis Possession Conviction
Massachusetts residents who have a cannabis conviction prior to March 13, 2024, may apply for expungement if they have at least one of the following types of convictions:
- possession of marijuana — G.L. c. 94C, § 34
- cultivation of marijuana — G.L. 94C, § 32C(a)
- possession of marijuana with intent to distribute — G.L. c. 94C, § 32C(a)
- distribution of marijuana — G.L. c. 94C, § 32C(a) possession of marijuana, subsequent offense — G.L. c. 94C, § 34
- cultivation of marijuana, subsequent offense — G.L. c. 94C, § 32C(b)
- possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, subsequent offense — G.L. c. 94C, § 32C(b)
- distribution of marijuana, subsequent offense — G.L. c. 94C, § 32C(b)
To apply for expungement, you must fill out the “Petition for Expungement of Marijuana Offenses G.L. c. 276” form and submit it to the court where your initial cannabis criminal case was heard.
To be approved for expungement of previous cannabis convictions, you must make sure that the quantity of cannabis in possession is two ounces or less. If you were arrested inside your primary residence, the total quantity of cannabis in possession must have been ten (10) ounces or less.
Charges for cultivating at home may also be expunged as long as the individual had six or fewer marijuana plants for personal use or twelve (12) plants in residences where two or more adults resided.
Filing For Expungement Of More Than One Cannabis Possession Charge
If you have more than one cannabis conviction that you would like expunged, you must fill out a separate form for each one. To file separate expungement requests, you will need your case docket number and provide information regarding the court where your conviction was received (Municipal, District, Juvenile, or Superior Court).

Residents who have already filed and received expungement for past cannabis convictions may be thinking about getting a Massachusetts medical cannabis card. Having a medical card provides many advantages, including expert advice from a licensed healthcare provider. Registered patients also save 20% tax on medical cannabis purchases.
