Legalize marijuana in VA justly. #legalizeitrightVA
Success, to us, is VA becoming the first state in the south to end marijuana prohibition equitably, and reallocate resources back to the Black and Brown communities which have been harmed by the ongoing War on Drugs.
Community-based education & policies that:
Center communities impacted by the War on Drugs
Break down barriers to access ex: “marijuana cards”
Ensure an equitable and diverse industry
Establish small business incubator programs
Create fair participation for local family farmers
Acknowledge the over-criminalization of youth of color
Develop an accountable equity lens into legalization
