Marijuana Justice Act


The Marijuana Justice Act is legislation introduced in 2017 and 2019 by New Jersey U.S. Senator Cory Booker that would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act and expunge existing cannabis-related criminal records. The legislation is also supported by Congressional Cannabis Caucus co-chair Barbara Lee and California U.S. Senator Kamala Harris. The Marijuana Justice Act, like the Marijuana Freedom and Opportunity Act, goes further than the Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States Act by making broader changes to federal drug policy and including social equity provisions.
