The War on Drugs has been a war on people. I was proud to stand with @DPA_NY, @StartSmartNY, @VOCALNewYork, and more to #PasstheMRTA. Today, we celebrated NY's equitable legalization at the Cannabis Parade and Rally in NYC. I'll keep working to end the federal prohibition.

For decades, young Americans—disproportionately Americans of color—have been arrested and jailed for carrying even small amounts of marijuana. I’m working to end the federal prohibition and undo harms caused by the War on Drugs. https://t.co/MUOam2uIxz

Interesting look at long-time cannabis activist Dana Beal and the future of marijuana advocacy (clearly it’s racial justice 🙃)

Dana Beal, a longtime Yippie, staged protests and fought the law and spent time in jail to make weed available for all. Is there a future in pot activism?

It's possible the tribes could start sales before the state sets up the framework for its industry.

New York legalized recreational marijuana on March 31, and you'll be able to buy weed in a store next year.

Making the cannabis industry more inclusive is one reason why we pushed to make the #MRTA law in New York. But there’s more that consumers can do to promote diversity in the industry.
