Frequently Asked Questions
Isn't cannabis already legal in Canada?
Yes, but hundreds of thousands of Canadians still carry criminal records for acts that are now legal; Cannabis Amnesty seeks to clear those records.
What is the difference between a pardon and expungement?
A pardon suspends the record but it still exists; expungement permanently deletes it, which Cannabis Amnesty argues is the appropriate remedy.
