“Like most of Europe, I believe marijuana is a soft drug , not a hard drug. Like alcohol and tobacco, it should be treated as a health rather than a criminal issue.

“Prohibitionist groups across the country are fundraising and spending money in an effort to defeat pro-marijuana ballot initiatives as well as our allies in Congress who support these initiatives,” he wrote in the email blast. “These regressive and reactionary forces are working to roll back civil liberties across our country. And I can’t just stand by.”Share this Story:
