Sen. Cory Booker is reintroducing legislation that would legalize marijuana, expunge possession convictions, and invest in communities hit hardest by the United State’s war on drugs.
The Marijuana Justice Act, which was first introduced in 2017, would make marijuana legal at the federal level by removing it from the list of controlled substance. The bill would also reach farther than any current marijuana legislation by clearing convictions related to marijuana possession.

Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Kirsten Gillibrand.
