Several U.S. lawmakers, including Senators Schumer and Representatives Cohen, Pressley, and Carter, are advocating for the reintroduction of the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act to end the federal prohibition on cannabis.

Cannabis justice is racial justice, economic justice, & restorative justice – and the time to act is NOW. On this 4/20, we need to legalize marijuana, expunge records, & end the War on Drugs that has ravaged Black & brown communities. https://t.co/e2sUCAKERe
I'm one of the top advocates for #marijuana legalization in Congress. But on #420day let's remember: as some profit from legalization, thousands of Black men, women & families in my district still suffer from the failed "war on drugs". Legalization should come with justice.
I was so proud to meet with the Marijuana Justice Coalition as we work to reintroduce the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act in the Senate! We will not stop working together to end the federal prohibition on cannabis and reverse the harms of the War on Drugs. https://t.co/2pQI0iJcVt
