Nadler, Blumenauer, Lee, Jackson Lee and Velázquez Reintroduce Comprehensive Marijuana Reform Legislation
Issues: Drugs
"The MORE Act would not only decriminalize marijuana federally, but also take meaningful steps to address the harmful impacts of the federal prohibition, particularly on communities of color, and align federal law with that of many states. As I have said before, we need to pass the MORE Act as an important component of a broader effort to reform our drug laws, which disproportionately harm racial minorities and fuel over-policing and mass incarceration. That is why I will continue to advance other legislation to achieve comprehensive reform of our criminal justice system."
