In Missouri, there are only a few types of felonies that can be expunged, but drug-related felonies are not eligible for expungement.

You need to get an expungement. Expungement is based on eligibility and eligibility is based on a number of factors including your total number of convictions and the time passed since the conviction. The waiting period for a felony is 7 years from the time of completion of probation. However, you can also file what is called a 402 reduction and reduce the level of offense from a felony to a misdemeanor which would reduce the amount of time required for expungement. You would need to talk to an attorney to see whether you might be eligible.
