My Submission for Adriel Hampton’s Policy Statement
Recently, I was made aware of a crowdsourcing attempt for a policy statement by Adriel Hampton, a hopeful congressional candidate in Northern California, regarding the Drug War. While I have never written anything for any one political individual, the prospect of writing something that could so directly affect our flawed laws was quite appealing.
The following is my submission for Mr. Hampton’s policy statement about the Drug War (specifically marijuana). While I am aware that most policy statements adhere strictly to descriptions of policy, I feel that marijuana is a very dense issue with a very intricate history. A history that must be taken into account if we are going to make an educated decision about an important issue.
You can vote on my submission here (it is titled “Legalization of Cannabis for the Good of our Citizens”) and read it below.
