Cannabis Regulation Act (HB 356): House Judiciary Committee
[Probably rescheduled due to snow impact]
In addition to legalizing marijuana, the bill includes medical cannabis patient protections, strong public health and safety provisions, and will direct new tax revenues to road safety, research, and education. It would also reinvest funds in communities disproportionately harmed by the war on drugs, for treating problematic drug use, subsidizing the cost of medical cannabis for low-income and indigent patients and more.
Cannabis prohibition has fueled mass criminalization. The bill addresses the ethical obligations to repair the disproportionate harms inflicted on Latino, Black and Native people.
It’s time to replace prohibition with a responsible, regulated system that reinvests in our children and communities.
