AOC is on the right side of this issue , and other Democrats not sure on MJ legalization should be talking to her. She's clearly representing the American people, and not the prisons for profits industry, or big pharma, who will lose profits when it's legalized. It's really shameful how some still promote unsubstantiated false claims about MJ, but promoted approval for highly addictive opioids they knew would cause deadly addictions, and Dr's were bribed into pushing for them.
