Marijuana

Our country’s outdated marijuana laws perpetuate a costly system that redirects funds, public defenders, and taxpayer-funded services to non-violent drug offenders, leaving many cases without the attention they deserve. Allison believes that marijuana use should not be criminally prosecuted, as its criminalization has led to the mass incarceration of mostly Black and brown communities. Non-violent drug offenders often find themselves stuck in a system they cannot get out of, paving the way for them to re-offend.
