Issue Position: Legalize Marijuana

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2019
Issues: Marijuana

Marijuana is still considered a controlled substance by federal law. Thousands are in jail for marijuana-related offenses, particularly people of color.

Yet marijuana is now legal for adult use in 9 STATES, and 29 STATES have legalized medical marijuana in some form.

We need to resolve the ambiguity and legalize marijuana at the federal level. This would improve safety, social equity, and generate tens of billions of dollars in new revenue based on legal cannabis businesses.
