Tens Of Thousands of Tennesseans Are Arrested Every Year for Marijuana Related Offenses, For Everything From Paraphernalia To Manufacturing And Distribution Of Marijuana. Because Of The Criminalization Of Marijuana Thousands Lose Jobs, Are Separated From Their Family, Lose There Right To Vote, And Are Permanently Effected By Arrest That Hinder Future Opportunities For The Offender. It Is Unjust To Ask That No One In Tennessee Be Allowed To Use Or Obtain Marijuana In Tennessee When Even The Laws And Expectations Of Our Neighboring States Have Been Adjusted And Lowered Greatly. The Legalization And Decriminalization Will Allow Hundreds Of Thousands Of Citizen To Be Able To Have A Clean Slate And Even More Of Our Youth To Never Be Effected By Laws That Simply Are Archaic And Unjust Used To Feed Our Jails And Prisons In Tennessee With Small Time Non-Violent Offenders.
