If you were convicted in Missouri for possession of marijuana, no, there is no way to get the conviction expunged (removed) from your criminal record.

Possibly. Get a lawyer and see what can be done.

You need to have successfully completed the entire term of probation, have nothing criminal pending, and not be on probation for any other offense(s). Contact a lawyer to file the petition for expungement on your behalf.

You can seal it.

That would depend on whether or not you were actually convicted of the offence or if you skipped out on the charge. If you skipped out on the charge then there is probably a warrant for you and you will have to turn yourself in at some point to take care of this matter. If it is a conviction that you wish to get expunged, a request to have it expunged from your record can be made.

You can petition the court to expunge your record.

Perhaps, see an attorney. Depending on what has been going down over the last decade it MIGHT be possible to get the charge dismissed.

The charge can't be dropped but there is a chance you can have your record expunged and have the charge removed.
