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.

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.
