Cory Booker to re-introduce marijuana legalization bill

Cory Booker to re-introduce marijuana legalization bill, highlighting issue's importance for 2020 Democrats

Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey will re-introduce legislation Thursday to legalize marijuana at the federal level, continuing to highlight an issue that has already garnered unprecedented attention in the early stages of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.

The bill's Senate co-sponsors include a number of other 2020 hopefuls, reflecting the prominence of the issue and broad consensus on it in the Democratic primary. Sens. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Michael Bennet and Bernie Sanders have all signed on.

The Marijuana Justice Act would also expunge the records of those who have been charged with a crime for using or possessing it, and direct resources toward re-entry and job training programs.
