Friend,

There is no excuse for our outdated federal marijuana laws. They are bad
for public health, they are bad for the people caught in the criminal
justice system, and they are bad for our economy.

The classification of marijuana as a Schedule I substance, on par with
heroin and LSD, fuels crime and stunts opportunity. By legalizing
marijuana, we can ensure that the public has access to a safe product and
we can ignite a new spirit of entrepreneurship.  

That’s why I have supported reform since my first campaign for Congress
and was a lead sponsor of the Marijuana Justice Act. We’re closer than we
have ever been to ending the prohibition of Marijuana, but there is more
work ahead. Will you stand with me? [ [link removed] ]Sign here to support the Marijuana
Justice Act.

Instead of pouring taxpayer dollars into counterproductive prohibition
programs, we should embrace the economic benefits and job potential of the
growing cannabis industry while addressing wider substance use as a public
health issue. In states where it’s been legalized, the economy is
thriving.  Washington state [ [link removed] ]collected $559.5 million in legal tax
revenue in 2021. If we legalize it at the national level, economists
[ [link removed] ]estimate that we could create over 1 million jobs by 2025 and over $132
billion in tax revenue over the next decade.

The federal prohibition of marijuana has failed. It’s time to do the right
thing and legalize it.

Onward,
Ro
