"It’s time to legalize Marijuana." (Twitter, October 2022)
"As states across the country legalize marijuana, it’s only right that profits be reinvested in the communities most devastated by the War on Drugs." (Twitter, September 2022)
"California’s marijuana legalization will also restore the voting rights for up to one million people and make it easier for them to apply for licenses, apartments, and jobs. This is smart criminal justice policy that we need nationwide." 1/20/18
"As corporations profit from legal weed, marijuana arrests continue to go up in many communities of color. The #MarijuanaJusticeAct would legalize cannabis, expunge prior convictions, and invest in the communities most ravaged by the failed war on drugs."

"Canada will be legalizing marijuana by the end of the summer and estimates show that it could boost their economy by up to $22.6 billion and create 150,000 jobs. With the tide turning, now is the time for the #MarijuanaJusticeAct in America."

"It's estimated that legal cannabis in the U.S. would create $40 billion in revenue and nearly a million jobs," "But it's about more than that $40 billion--it's about equality, and getting rid of the legal past that is stifling individuals' opportunity and their future."

"Black Americans are arrested almost four times as often as whites for possession, even though they use marijuana at the same rates. Marijuana legalization would begin to end the racial inequities of our criminal justice system."

Legalizing marijuana is a no brainer! Just look at Colorado. The economic value is astronomical.
