From Yang2020.com:
Marijuana is still considered a controlled substance by federal law. Thousands are in jail for marijuana-related offenses, particularly people of color.
Yet marijuana is now legal for adult use in 11 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, and 33 STATES have legalized medical marijuana in some form.
We need to resolve the ambiguity and legalize marijuana at the federal level. This would improve safety, social equity, and generate tens of billions of dollars in new revenue based on legal cannabis businesses.
PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED
• Thousands of Americans, many of them minorities, are in jail for non-violent marijuana-related offenses even as it is now legal in 9 states.
• Federal treatment of marijuana is unclear as it remains a controlled substance under the law
• Unregulated marijuana leads to safety issues and lack of oversight
