Today's guest host is Brent J. Cohen, Executive Director for Generation Progress.
On today’s show, Brent talks about an important piece of legislation that’s currently making its way through Congress—the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019, more commonly known as the MORE Act.
At a high level, this piece of legislation would officially remove marijuana from the list of federally controlled substances, expunge federal marijuana convictions and arrests, and specifically direct resources to communities that have been most affected by the disastrous war on drugs started by Richard Nixon in 1971.
To talk with Brent more about the MORE Act, and the people and communities who would be impacted by its passage, he's joined by Maritza Perez, the Director of the Office of National Affairs at the Drug Policy Alliance.
