Federal Cannabis Prohibition Has Failed, Sen. Booker Says During Senate Hearing
By Nina Zdinjak -

The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, chaired by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), held a hearing on Tuesday titled “Decriminalizing Cannabis at the Federal Level: Necessary Steps to Address Past Harms.”

The meeting came on the heels of last week’s presentation of a long-awaited marijuana bill — the Cannabis Administration And Opportunity Act (CAOA) — which would decriminalize and deschedule cannabis on the federal level, while also promoting social equity. Booker sponsored the bill, alongside Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR).

The hearing tackled many important issues in regards to federal cannabis legalization, but it wasn’t an actual debate on the bill, as the subcommittee has yet to vote on the CAOA.

Booker cited evidence that cannabis' current classification as a Schedule 1 drug caused many harms.

“It has failed to make our communities safer, it has failed to reflect modern science and contemporary values across the political spectrum, and it has miserably failed our most vulnerable people in America,” Booker said. “Really, it’s inflicted a lot of damage upon the families within our country.”

I agree with Senator booker and deacon ron gray..."..“It has failed"

..cannabis, has failed the African AMerican Family Structure and the minds of African Americans

Inner cities and states like New Jersey-that Senator booker represents: experience high criminality, poverty,

incarceration, little family structure and high LGtv frequency

..ALL effects that fail mind and soul of communities..

..Americans NEED to have actual debates on this SUBJECT...

Cannabis, pot or other body and mind effecting 'choices' has FAILED the African American Family!

Cannabis, pot or other body and mind effecting 'choices' has FAILED the American Societal peace!
