Welcome to our first episode of Cannabis in the News! You'll hear all about the latest goings-on of the cannabis industry and how it affects each and every one of us.
This time around, we talk about San Francisco District Attorney, George Gascón and his recent announcement that his office will wipe out over 9,000 cannabis-related convictions dating back to 1975. He teamed up with Code for America, a non-profit dedicated to improving the government using open-source technology, to identify cases eligible for expungement or resentencing under Prop. 64. They plan to complete a full sweep of all eligible cases within the next year.
