On December 8, recreational cannabis became legal in Missouri. But the stakes are far higher than adults buying legal weed. The law enacted a provision for "automatic expungement" of nonviolent marijuana convictions from criminal records, but there are concerns about the process and its stated deadlines. To discuss what comes next for legal weed in Missouri, we hear from Legal Missouri campaign director John Payne, as well as public defender Matt Schmidt, who has been helping his clients clear their records. We also hear from Brian Pezza, an attorney at Lewis Rice law firm, about the impact on cannabis legalization in the workplace.
