Jodie Emery, editor-in-chief of Cannabis Culture, discusses the opportunity California legalization presents for those with marijuana convictions. Now that the drug is fully legal, those with a record have the chance to have the charge lessened or wiped off their record completely. Emery breaks down the ins and outs of the provision and talks the impact it will have on minority communities who have historically been hit harder with marijuana penalties. She also discusses the cost, noting that some who may not have the money to hire legal counsel and present their case in court may have a harder time reaping the benefits of legalization.
