    Our approach to policing marijuana has failed. Unfair laws continue to rob people and families of job opportunities, time with their loved ones and even their futures.

        Black and Latino New Yorkers are almost 10 times more likely to be arrested for the possession of marijuana than their white neighbors – though usage rates are about the same.

        I’m cosponsoring the Marijuana Justice Act with @CoryBooker and @SenSanders because we need to come together and raise our voices for a system that is fairer and more equitable.

        We need to end the federal prohibition and ensure marijuana is available to anyone who needs it. Criminalization has to end.pic.twitter.com/WYnhh4fkfK

        Legalize it, don't just decriminalize! Every person who needs this medicine should be able to grow it.

        Millions agree. Legalize marijuana across America. Treat it like any tobacco product or source of natural medicinal value.

        Most white legislation advocates neglect to talk about the disproportionate impact criminalization has had on communities of color. Thank you for using your platform to shine light on this! Keep walking the walk!

        Unjust enforcement should be addressed regarding all laws. Decriminalizing use of marijuana & leaving governing it to States make sense & would be constitutional, as well as more accurately reflect the will of the people since state governments are closer to their constituencies

        We should also be aware that health costs, not to mention actual public health, will be adversely affected in long run by recreational use, the health risks of which outweigh any benefits. I am not referring to prescribed use for legitimate medical reasons.

        I'm going to need you to source your claims. Show me the studies showing the outsized health risks? Health risks are FAR less than alcohol or tobacco.

        For what purpose are we legalizing marijuana, medicinal or recreational?

        policing alcohol failed, policing opiates is still failing, no big surprise policing mj, has failed. have you ever considered it is because you, are going in the wrong direction? just like illegal immigration you, are going in the wrong direction.
