Oregon

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

Ending Failed Cannabis Prohibition. Our country must end the failed policy of cannabis prohibition. Congressman Blumenauer and Senator Wyden have joined together to introduce comprehensive legislation that protects state marijuana laws and provides a path to federal legalization of marijuana.

Ending the War on Drugs The War on Drugs has failed. We’ve spent over a trillion dollars and gained only the world’s largest prison population. We need to:

  • Provide universal access to treatment for those struggling with addiction.
  • Reform our criminal justice system and sentencing laws—including ending mandatory minimums and the unconstitutional practice of civil asset forfeiture.
  • Make reparations for those whose lives and communities have been most impacted by these policies by:
    • Expunging federal cannabis use and possession crimes.
    • Reinvesting in communities most impacted by the federal drug prohibition policies.
