"Legalizing marijuana will bring hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to our state and help address our debt problems. It will also create jobs here in Illinois and bring more people to our state, both of which will spur the economy and increase our tax base. In addition, legalization of recreational marijuana will help curb the impacts of the war on drugs on communities of color and help to address some of the ways in which institutional racism occurs throughout our criminal justice system."
