Cannabis Expungement in Arkansas
This state does not currently offer a cannabis-specific expungement or record-clearing program.
At a Glance
Overview
Arkansas approved medical cannabis in 2016 through Issue 6, but has not enacted any cannabis-specific expungement legislation. The state's general record-sealing laws allow some misdemeanor offenses to be sealed after a waiting period, but cannabis-specific offenses do not receive any special treatment. A 2022 recreational legalization ballot measure failed, and with it any potential for expungement reform. Residents with cannabis convictions have limited options for clearing their records under current Arkansas law.
Application Process
Arkansas does not have a cannabis-specific expungement program. Limited general sealing provisions may apply to certain misdemeanor offenses.
