Millions of lives are significantly impacted by the criminalization of cannabis. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) reports that a dismaying amount of individuals, disproportionately people of color, are arrested for cannabis-related offenses despite roughly equal usage rates across races. Among these, many are non-violent and cause no harm to society. Besides human toll, the enforcement of cannabis prohibition costs taxpayers annually an estimated $3.6 billion, according to the ACLU's in-depth report. By decriminalizing cannabis, we can take a step towards rectifying racial disparities, save valuable resources and focus on addressing serious crime. It's a course of action that numerous countries and states have already adopted with positive outcomes. Therefore, we urge policymakers to consider evidence-based decision-making and put an end to the unnecessary criminalization of cannabis.
