Ask the Trump Administration to Respect State Marijuana Laws

Marijuana prohibition has been just as ineffective, wasteful, and problematic as alcohol prohibition.

As a result, many states have rejected our nation's federal prohibition policy and adopted more sensible laws through voter-approved initiatives or acts of their legislatures. Twenty-eight states have legalized marijuana legal for medical use. Eight states have also enacted laws making marijuana legal for adults and regulating it similarly to alcohol.

Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump expressed support for letting states determine their own marijuana policies. However, he raised concerns when he selected Jeff Sessions, a longtime supporter of marijuana prohibition and opponent of state-level reform, to serve as attorney general.

The Trump administration is in the process of reviewing the Justice Department's existing marijuana policy and will soon decide how to handle enforcement of federal laws in states that have legalized marijuana for medical or adult use.

Take action now! Sign this petition urging President Trump and Attorney General Sessions to respect state marijuana laws.
