Zachary Filtz (D - VA)
Position on Marijuana Legalization
I think the great progressive thing would be legalize it right now and use the revenue from it to partially fund some type of reparations program for Blacks. Then use the other part for some of our crumbling infrastructure
Virginia can't have justice for Black lives until we expunge the records for nonviolent marijuana offenders. We must make progress and provide justice. The new weed law going into effect in July is also not even remotely on its 'open container' law in the car.
Position on Medical Marijuana
Medical cannabis needs to be expanded. It's the old conservative people that don't want to admit the health benefits of marijuana, and I'm not one of those old people who don;'t want progress.
