Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx says she supports legalizing marijuana in Illinois and that her office will help expunge misdemeanor marijuana convictions. “I want to say publicly to all of you that I am in support of the legalization of marijuana,” Foxx said. “Here in that state’s attorney’s office we have already begun to move away from prosecuting most cases of marijuana possession, but that does very little to help those who can’t get a job or who have been denied housing because of a previous marijuana conviction.”
