It is time for our federal government to
join the 21st century and legalize marijuana.

But we can’t stop there. We must also ensure justice for people who are
incarcerated right now — or have been incarcerated — for non-violent
cannabis-related charges.

legalization of marijuana happen.

You know, most Americans already live in a state where marijuana is legal
for recreational use. Nearly 3 in 4 live somewhere where it’s legal either
medicinally or recreationally. And 88% support some form of legalization.

Washington needs to get with the program.

But I’m not holding my breath for the Republican House of Representatives
to leap into action and legalize cannabis.

So I’ve called on the Department of Justice to take its own steps and
deschedule marijuana. Right now, marijuana has the same legal status as
heroin, and is labeled as more dangerous than fentanyl or cocaine, which
makes no scientific sense.

Descheduling would allow for research on medicinal marijuana, tackle
criminal penalties that disproportionately hurt Black and Brown
communities, restore access to public housing or nutrition assistance for
individuals who use marijuana recreationally, and more.

For years, I've stood with those who called on multiple administrations to
issue pardons to people convicted of federal non-violent cannabis
offenses. President Biden has taken historic steps on that front. And
we've seen similar movement at the state level, including in
Massachusetts. But we can't stop there.

Look: It’s not justice when we lock up kids caught with an ounce of pot,
while hedge fund managers make millions off of the legal sale of
marijuana. We can regulate the cannabis industry so it’s safe and legal.
And by reinvesting the tax revenue earned from marijuana sales, we can
begin to rebuild communities devastated by the policies of the failed War
on Drugs, and ensure that those communities are equally able to
participate in the cannabis industry.

I’m going to stay on this — and I’d be grateful to have you fighting by my
side.

your name to say you support the federal legalization of marijuana — and
the pardoning of individuals convicted of non-violent cannabis offenses so
we can start to right this historic wrong.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
