Democrat Cory Booker elected to the Senate from the district of new Jersey and former mayor of Newark, announced in a video message on Facebook Live of intent to enter the Marijuana 2017 Justice Act — a billthat will allow to legalize marijuana.
Recall that the authorities at the legislative level trying to promote marijuana to the list of substances #1, which includes heroin, and consigning her to the drugs have no medical value.
Bill Booker will allow people serving sentences for crimes related to marijuana, to apply for a retrial investigation and automatically exclude marijuana from the list of Federal crimes, according to NorthJersey.com.
Booker says that the current Federal drug laws «distract too many resources from fighting serious crime, tear families apart unfairly impact on groups of population with low income,» and also notes that «every year billions of dollars are spent on taxpayers».
The Senator wrote on his Facebook that this bill is an attempt «to fix the bugs in the War on drugs».
«That is what is necessary for public safety. The bill will help to reduce the number of inmates in prisons,» he writes.
The legislative draft will have to face face tough opposition Generalnogo attorney Jeff Stashina who opposes drugs. Sesens also said that he will deal with drugs, even when most States legalize them.
