Eddie Geller here, John.
Today is April 20th and lots of folks are making “weed” jokes.” But ending the failed war on cannabis is no laughing matter. (And this is coming from someone who’s told his share of jokes!)
As of today, 37 states have legalized cannabis for recreational or medicinal purposes. But — our federal laws still treat “weed” the same as they did in the 1980s!
And despite our changing national attitudes, too many folks — disproportionately people of color — are still being persecuted for using cannabis. When I’m elected, I promise to do everything possible to end the federal prohibition of cannabis!
But I need your help. John, can you help end the racist prohibition of cannabis by chipping in $5 to my people-powered campaign today?
It’s high time we end the national prohibition of cannabis (okay, that’s my only 420 pun).
The criminalization of cannabis has been an abject failure that unfairly targets minority and low-income Americans. According to the ACLU, black Americans are over 3 times as likely to be arrested for cannabis possession despite using at the same rates as white Americans.
The war on cannabis is really a war on black and brown communities. That’s why legalizing cannabis at the federal level is so important.
We must end the racist, failed policy of cannabis prohibition, John. Can you chip in $5 to my grassroots campaign and help end the war on cannabis?
Thank you!
Eddie Geller
