Comments

"The criminalization of cannabis has had a severe, generational impact on the well-being of Black and Brown communities around the state. It is only right that the revenue generated from legalization should be funneled back into those very neighborhoods that were disenfranchised by marijuana prohibition and its discriminatory enforcement."
