'Profit Over People': Faith Leaders Object To Connecticut Recreational Pot Law

Jim Mone / AP Nearly a dozen Black and Latino faith leaders have called on Connecticut lawmakers and Governor Ned Lamont this week to oppose the legalization of recreational marijuana. Lamont has signaled support for a bill now before the Senate that legalizes and taxes the sale of marijuana to adults. Reverend Tommie Jackson, of Rehoboth Fellowship Church in Stamford, is in support of recreational marijuana but shares the concerns of the other faith leaders who say the state will put “profit over people.” “The bigger concern to me is the piece related to substance abuse treatment and prevention. I believe that the dollar amount, the 15% that is talked about being allocated in that context is far too low, and I think the amount should be raised,” Jackson said.

Marijuana Legalization 2021: These U.S. States Could Legalize Weed in 2021

Marijuana Legalization 2021: These U.S. States Could Legalize Weed in 2021 On 12/30/20 at 1:29 PM EST Efforts surrounding the legalization and decriminalization of weed are ongoing, with laws involving recreational and medical use of marijuana varying by state. Thirty-four states currently have marijuana legalized either medically or recreationally, allowing for the majority of Americans to have access to weed in one way or another. While marijuana is still illegal on a federal level, the House passed legislation earlier this month that would decriminalize the substance and expunge nonviolent marijuana-related convictions, which have disproportionately affected low-income communities of color for years. Since Colorado and Washington's groundbreaking legalization of recreational marijuana in 2012, 15 states and Washington, D.C., have legalized weed for adults over the age of 21, with four states—Arizona, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota—voting to legalize weed for adults and one state, Mississippi, voting in favor of medical legalization during the 2020 election.
