Political Stances on Marijuana Legalization for Recreational Use Rights

“As Ive said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.Today, Im taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.”

“The LGBTQIA+ communities are equal citizens of this country and thus deserve full and equal protection under the law. They should be able to pursue a livelihood free from discrimination and have all of the rights afforded under the US Constitution not because of their sexual orientation but because they are American citizens. In a Williamson administration, no person, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity, will feel unsupported by their government. They will live with the absolute knowledge that they and their rights are both honored and protected by the highest authorities in the land.”

“Weve known for too long that prohibiting the use of cannabis hasnt worked. By legalizing adult-use cannabis, were expanding our economy, creating jobs, and regulating the industry to keep Minnesotans safe. Legalizing adult-use cannabis and expunging or resentencing cannabis convictions will strengthen communities. This is the right move for Minnesota.”
