Elizabeth Warren is really on the ball

I get this email from her campaign:

Sign your name if you agree: It's time for a just and equitable cannabis industry

Legalizing marijuana is about more than just allowing recreational use, or the potential medicinal benefit, or the money that can be made from this new market.

It’s about undoing a century of racist policy that disproportionately targeted Black and Latinx communities. It’s about rebuilding the communities that have suffered the most harm. And it’s about ensuring that everyone has access to the opportunities that the new cannabis market provides.

Here’s the way I see it: It’s not justice when we lock up kids caught with an ounce of pot while hedge fund managers make millions off of the legal sale of marijuana.

It’s time to end that broken system, regulate the industry so it’s safe and legal, reinvest the tax revenue earned from marijuana sales to begin to rebuild communities devastated by the policies of the failed War on Drugs, and ensure that those communities are equally able to participate in the budding cannabis industry.

Yup, right on April 20

On edit: Since primaries are over and we have a presumed nominee, I figured I could put this in GD

2. Right on, Liz!

I hope she's the next VP. I think Biden would let her work on some of these things. Could really get some things accomplished.

It's an important issue to a lot of people.
