District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser has declared it is time for the nation’s capital to legalize marijuana.
She was promoting a petition for the Safe Cannabis Sales Act 2019 and she has launched a campaign called Safe Cannabis DC. “For years, marijuana possession has been a pipeline to prison for people of color,” said Bowser. “We must replace that pipeline with jobs, equity, and pathways to prosperity.”
