This week the Maryland legislature is debating a bill I introduced (HB 1264) to put the issue of marijuana legalization on the November election ballot. Tell the Governor, and your Senator & House members to end the stigma, and let the voters decide the fate of cannabis in our state.
Why is this important?
The failed policy of criminal prohibition has ruined thousands of lives and led to an unregulated, illegal black market. It's time for Maryland to join the growing number of states that have created regulated, legal cannabis industries. We should spend our time and resources on public health responses to drug use, instead of failed strategies that rely on incarceration.
