On Feb. 28, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) reintroduced a bill, known as the Marijuana Justice Act, to federally legalize marijuana. First introduced in 2017, the bill wasn’t picked up for a vote. But now that national public opinion on marijuana has shifted and more states are choosing to legalize it statewide, the bill has a chance to be voted upon sometime in the near future.

The bill has already been cosponsored by some of Booker’s fellow 2020 Democratic contenders: Kamala Harris (CA), Elizabeth Warren (MA), Bernie Sanders (VT) and Kirsten Gillibrand (NY).

One primary goal of the bill is to tackle racial and socioeconomic inequity when it comes to criminal charges related to marijuana. Booker tweeted, “The failed War on Drugs has really been a war on people—disproportionately criminalizing poor people, people of color & people with mental illness.” The bill would provide opportunities for resentencing, expungement provisions, “community reinvestment provisions” such as job training and more for those charged with marijuana-related crimes. All of these measures would be a massive step forward for marijuana equity, a promise of legalization that has yet to be fulfilled in many ways.

Taxation of recreational marijuana sales has already brought in massive amounts of revenue: since the beginning of recreational sales in 2014, Colorado has made a total of over $927 million (including state licenses and fees). There’s potential for any state that wants to recreationalize; New York governor Andrew Cuomo has a plan to legalize recreational marijuana and use the tax revenue to fix the notoriously hellish MTA. Other state officials across the nation should take note and look into what kind of reform can be possible with legalization.

The bill will undoubtedly face an uphill battle against the Republicans on the senate, but the tax revenue alone might make a strong enough argument to finally repair some of our country’s biggest injustices in the war on drugs.
