Texas Democrats know that legalizing cannabis at the federal and state level will liberate Black & Brown communities torn apart by mass incarceration, give freedom to those whose lives have been burdened by low level marijuana offenses, and provide meaningful investments back into our neighborhoods.
Legalized states like Arizona and Colorado have collectively poured billions of dollars into their infrastructure, public schools, public safety divisions and social service programs. And as of 2023, twenty-four states have enacted laws that accelerate the expungement process for low-level, cannabis-related crimes.
Friend, Texas is one of the most populous, ever-growing and diverse states in America, and we cannot afford to get left behind because of Texas Republicans’ ignorance.
