FEATURED BILL: CANNABIS LEGALIZATION & REGULATION

Marijuana criminalization has had an extremely harmful and disparate impact on communities of color. Black individuals are more than three times [[link removed]] as likely as white individuals to be arrested for cannabis possession, despite nearly identical use rates.

That's why Rep. Dahle, along with her colleagues Reps. Autry, Harrison, and Hawkins introduced the Cannabis Legalization & Regulation [[link removed]] bill this April.

The bill would legalize [[link removed]] the use and possession of small amounts of marijuana for adults 21 years and older, as well as regulate the sale of marijuana and provide for the collection of state and local taxes.

The bill would also establish an Office of Social Equity [[link removed]], to help ensure that a legal and regulated cannabis industry encourages participation from and reinvestment in the communities most harmed by cannabis prohibition. It would be an important step in ending the disastrous War on Drugs.

In solidarity,

Pia Nargundkar
Communications Director
