    People of color are arrested at 10 times the rate of white people for marijuana possession, despite similar rates of usage. We need to pass the Marijuana Justice Act: It’s a step toward much-needed criminal justice reform. This is about equality and doing what’s right.

        True we should put criminals to do jobs like fix the street cracks and paint over graffiti for free.

        Why not make sure they become skilled in ways they could use after they get out?

        They are, but how likely are they to get to use them when they're out of prison, especially if there's a substantial prison-population doing the job

        We also need to make cannabis legal, safe, and as well-regulated as alcohol. 🌞 AND ... we need to erase cannabis-related charges from people’s records. 🌞

        I’m not sure. 🤔 It’s a very concise summary. It certainly decriminalizes ongoing cannabis sales; but I don’t see any mention of retroactive decriminalization.

        Given the fact that the only negative thing about marijuana use is that it's still illegal in many, too many, states and on a federal level I think it's time to fix it by making it legal for recreational use nationwide. Then release ALL non-violent offenders ever arrested for it!

        Pot has nothing to do with equality, aside from all the statistics showing that it does. Like most things.
