Issue Position: On Cannabis

Issue Position

While some local governments in the State have passed legislation that decriminalizes possession of small amounts of marijuana, it is time for a statewide initiative. Support for the legalization of marijuana has grown dramatically amongst the Georgia constituency. Jasmine believes that through decriminalization of small quantities of cannabis products for personal use, Georgia could boost its economy through taxation and reduce the prison overcrowding that can be attributed to nonviolent, marijuana possession charges, which disproportionately affects people of color.
