Are there examples outside of Canada where cannabis amnesty has been granted?

Answer

There are a number of jurisdictions in the United States moving towards cannabis amnesty. In April 2018, the City of Seattle filed a motion in municipal court that would have the effect of rendering all misdemeanor marijuana convictions in the city retroactively void. San Francisco and San Diego filed similar motions earlier this year.
