Cory Booker: The ‘War on Drugs…Has Really Been a War on People’
(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Cory Booker (D.-N.J.) sent out a Tweet on Saturday condemning the War on Drugs as a “war on people†and calling for the legalization of marijuana.
“It’s not enough to just legalize marijuana at the federal level—we should also expunge records of those who have served their time, and reinvest in communities hardest hit by the failed War on Drugs—which has really be a war on people,†Booker said in his Tweet.
On Aug. 1, 2017, Booker introduced in the U.S. Senate the Marijuana justice act, which seeks to legalize marijuana and create a “community reinvestment fund†to pump federal dollars into “communities impacted by the failed War on Drugs.â€
