Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Will prop 47 allow me to get my old drug felonys reduced to misdemeanors?

The charge was 11557 H&S. Possession of meth. I have only the one conviction (multiple probation violations but no other charges were ever brought) and no violent crimes. I have been off probation for over 4 years. Staying clean and loving it!

Thank you for your help.

I assume you mean 11377.
