Missouri Drug Offense Expungement
Missouri has made it easier to clear old drug charges, and starting in 2027, certain drug-possession convictions will even expunge automatically. But you don’t have to wait, and many charges still need a petition. Here’s where you stand.
Often eligible
- Many drug-possession convictions (felony and misdemeanor)
- Unlawful use of drug paraphernalia
- Many marijuana-related offenses
Usually not eligible
- Certain distribution/trafficking felonies excluded by statute
- Offenses tied to a disqualifying charge
There are exceptions in both directions and the law changes. Don’t rule yourself out. Let us check.
