Comments
Ask your Senator to vote NO on this bill that would transfer all marijuana tax revenues from the equity fund (meant to help repair the damage done to Black and Brown communities by the war on drugs) to the general revenues where the money can be spent for anything. This basically guts one of the major policy objectives of the marijuana legalization bill.
