New senate bill may legalize marijuana nationwide
Dubbed the Marijuana Justice Act of 2019, the bill would see marijuana finally removed from the federal list of controlled substances, legalizing the plant on a nationwide level and removing a range of obstacles from vendors and purveyors across the United States.
The bill would also expunge the criminal records of anyone who had been charged with possession while also calling for anyone currently incarcerated for the offense to petition for an immediate re-sentencing. Those convicted under prohibition laws would also be provided job training and resources under the act.
Personally, I think it's about time for this to happen. Imagine all the good from the taxing of pot and how it can impact our great state of Alabama in a positive way.
