On Tuesday, more than 30 people in Chittenden County began the process of clearing their records of minor marijuana offenses.
That's just a small fraction of the people who could take advantage of the opportunity to clear their record.
On July 1, adults in Vermont will be able to grow or possess small amounts of cannabis.
But offenses that will soon be considered legal.
So, states attorneys in Chittenden and Counties 鈥� 鈥� held events to help people their records.
Chittenden County State's Attorney Sarah George said those who missed expungement day can still file petitions.
鈥淚f somebody is in Chittenden County and can't make it today, I would encourage them to to me via email with just their name and date of birth," said George. "And I could do what I need to do and fill out the petition and we can figure out a way for it to get filed.鈥�
George said people who have marijuana misdemeanors in other counties should contact that states attorney for that county.
