An Ypsilanti dispensary is teaming up with the city to help people charged with cannabis crimes get their criminal records expunged.
The expungement fair will take place from noon-4 p.m. on Sunday, May 1 at the WellFlower Ypsi, located at 1820 Washtenaw Ave.
“We know that a person’s prior criminal offenses can create barriers in life — like housing and employment,” the WellFlower founder Trent McCurren said in a statement. “As cannabis is now legal in Michigan, we need to undo the harm that cannabis prohibition caused people.”
The event is made possible through a partnership between the WellFlower parent company Scout Cannabis, the Great Lakes Expungement Network (GLEN), the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office Conviction Integrity and Expungement Unit, and Ypsilanti City Council, which unanimously approved funding for the event.
