Yang Gang --
Marijuana is now legal for adult use in 11 states and the District of Columbia. Thirty-three states have legalized medical marijuana in some form. But it is still considered a controlled substance by federal law -- like heroin and cocaine.
Thousands are in jail for marijuana-related offenses, particularly poor people and people of color. Our current policy is both stupid and racist.
Andrew has put forward a plan to resolve the ambiguity and legalize marijuana at the federal level. This would:
- Improve safety
- Increase social equity
- Generate tens of billions of dollars in new revenue based on legal cannabis businesses
We need to put Humanity First by decriminalizing marijuana. If you agree, will you stand with Andrew by adding your name to this petition?
Your support will send a message that, as a country, we’re ready to move past the outdated policies that make our country less fair and less safe.
Thanks for being part of the Yang Gang,
Team Yang
