Here’s What Politicians Are Saying About Marijuana Laws On 4/20

Dozens of lawmakers and congressional candidates are calling for marijuana reform on 4/20. While major brands are marketing off the informal cannabis holiday, policymakers and office-seekers are drawing attention to the ongoing harms of prohibition and encouraging policy changes. Here’s what they’re saying: Members of Congress Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT):  It makes no sense for young people to be denied jobs because they were arrested for smoking marijuana. It is time to legalize marijuana, expunge past marijuana convictions and end the failed war on drugs. pic.twitter.com/KimMYKoLAn — Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) April 20, 2020 Sen.
