Position on Marijuana Legalization

From campaign website

I support fully legalizing marijuana. Marijuana crimes disproportionately impact people of color and it’s time to end marijuana prohibition.  

An ACLU report found that in 2018 African Americans were arrested at more than three times the rate of white individuals in Tennessee for marijuana crimes, despite the fact that both races consume marijuana at about the same rate. Legalization would also be a boon to our tax coffers, something we are ill-equipped to refuse right now, as our state deals with the economic fallout from COVID.
