Cory Booker Instagram – America’s federal marijuana laws simply do NOT make sense, and the enforcement of these laws are riddled with hypocrisy and injustice.
We should be appalled that in this country some people, predominately and disproportionately Black and Latino citizens, are jailed, prevented from getting jobs, and/or struggle with finding housing…all because they did the same thing Senators, Congresspeople, and even Presidents have admitted to doing – even though there is no difference in usage rates between races or ethnicities.
This double standard needs to end. It’s time the federal government to decriminalize cannabis and take action to right these past wrongs, which is why I’m proud that earlier this week, along with my colleagues Senators Widen and Schumer, we reintroduced the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act. | Posted on 05/May/2024 18:08:04
