Click here if you support my bill to decriminalize marijuana and bring restorative justice to overpoliced communities!
This week, the Judiciary Committee moved forward with my bill to decriminalize marijuana and end the racially unjust policies that have caused tremendous and lasting damage all across America.
It’s past time we righted the wrongs of the failed War on Drugs, which has had cruel, disproportionate impacts on low-income communities and communities of color.
My Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act is the most comprehensive marijuana reform bill ever introduced in Congress and is backed by a broad coalition of civil rights, criminal justice, drug policy, and immigration groups.
Add your name here to stand with me in support of ending marijuana criminalization as soon as possible!
This legislation strikes at the heart of many of our unjust drug policies and begins to repair some of the damage these laws have caused. Here’s what it would do:
1. Provide much-needed relief to the communities that have been ravaged by the racist enforcement of marijuana prohibition
2. Remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, which decriminalizes it at the federal level and enables states to set their own policies. This also will pave the way for more medical research
3. The existing state-legal marijuana industry will no longer be barred from accessing financial services or standard tax treatment available to all legal businesses
4. Provides a roadmap for states to legalize marijuana in a just and equitable way.
