Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia have decriminalized marijuana and I believe the federal government should follow their lead and end the federal prohibition.
We understand the myriad of tangible benefits to using marijuana in a safe and responsible way, and we should trust our people to use marijuana appropriately, like we do alcohol.
I support the decriminalization of the simple possession of marijuana because of the disproportionate impact on Black and Brown communities with regards to incarceration for non-violent drug offenses.
People's permanent records should reflect the change in laws with regards to the decriminalization of marijuana.
I support the legalization of the use of medical marijuana because of its benefits in treating anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD, among countless other conditions.
