Getting the Word Out
I have long favored marijuana legalization and now devote myself full time to advancing the industry. I supported it on principle at age 15, years before I had ever even consumed it, wondering as a young Libertarian by what right our government could prohibit its use. Much later in life, I learned of other important reasons to support legalization: Medicinal benefits, social justice and plain and simple economics.
I am fortunate to be in a position unlike many. I can and do speak loudly about my views, but, sadly, most people can not. Stigma remains a huge burden, and admission of even support of legalization (much less consumption) can lead to ostracization by family members or even potentially the loss of one’s job. While it remains federally illegal, the risks of advocacy are too great for too many.
