The Democratic party needs to make a priority

The legalization of Cannabis and Hemp in this state.

This would create jobs and revitalize agriculture.

Increase tax revenue and close the giant budget hole.

Lower jail and prison populations and reduce cost.

Reduce cost of policing and redirecting energy to real crime.

Free up the court system and reduce cost.

Guarantee the State Constitution Section II-2 Inherent rights: All persons have the inherent right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the enjoyment of the gains of their own industry.

The opportunity is now. We know the state needs the money. The evidence is clear there is no danger from this plant. But it can offer so much! Legalize it!
