The California Legislature passed a law this past summer that allows for certain convictions involving marijuana to be expunged from criminal records; this change follows the success of Proposition 64 in 2016, which legalized the recreational use of marijuana in California. While state legislators across the country have begun to introduce similar bills marijuana remains illegal according to federal law: even in medical cases. This ties into our discussion of federalism and the states' ability to check the federal government's rule.
