The war on cannabis, like the war on drugs overall, was a failure that ruined millions of lives. It has torn apart families and decimated communities, all while acting as a vehicle for racial injustice. Connecticut can begin to rectify these harms by creating equity in the cannabis industry. The ACLU-CT thus strongly urges this Committee to support House Bill 6377.
House Bill 6377, An Act Concerning Labor Peace Agreements and a Modern and Equitable Cannabis Workforce
At the ACLU-CT, we believe in the complete decriminalization of cannabis – from cultivation to sale and delivery to possession and use. Our support for full decriminalization is strengthened by the racist history of enforcement of cannabis offenses in Connecticut.
