Marijuana Justice Act

The Marijuana Justice Act is a proposed legislative measure in the United States that aims to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level. It seeks to remove marijuana from the list of controlled substances, thus eliminating federal penalties for its use and possession. Additionally, the act includes provisions for expunging criminal records for individuals previously convicted of non-violent marijuana offenses, addressing social and racial disparities in drug enforcement. The goal is to promote a fairer approach to drug policy and provide support to communities affected by past marijuana-related policies.
