Cannabis has been Schedule I since 1970 — the most restrictive federal classification, reserved for substances with "no accepted medical use and high abuse potential." This is scientifically indefensible and politically motivated. We demand Congress act.
700,000+ Americans arrested for cannabis annually — disproportionately Black and Brown communities
Schedule I blocks medical research, banking access, and interstate commerce
24 states have legalized adult-use — federal law is wildly out of step with the public
91% of Americans support some form of cannabis legalization (Gallup, 2024)
74% of goal — help us reach 200,000

After years of advocacy, Minnesota became the 23rd state to legalize adult-use cannabis, with strong employment protections and automatic expungement built into the law.
California's landmark law prohibiting employers from testing for non-psychoactive cannabis metabolites went into effect January 1, 2024 — protecting hundreds of thousands of workers.
Following an HHS recommendation, the DEA proposed moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III — the most significant federal shift in 50 years of prohibition.
Ohio voters passed adult-use legalization with 57% of the vote, making it the 24th legal state and proving that legalization wins at the ballot box across political lines.
President Biden issued a blanket pardon for all prior federal offenses of simple cannabis possession — the first presidential action of its kind.

Most people underestimate how much individual contact matters to elected officials. Here's the reality.
Congressional staffers tally constituent calls daily. A single call is counted as representing hundreds of constituents who didn't call. 5 minutes on the phone is worth 500 form emails.
A personalized email with your specific story is far more impactful than a form letter. Staffers are trained to identify and discount mass-generated messages.
Scheduling a meeting with your representative's district office — even with just 3-4 constituents — is one of the most effective advocacy actions possible.
One big push rarely changes minds. Regular, sustained contact over months and years — especially around key votes — is what actually shifts policy.
Cannabis prohibition has caused decades of harm — to individuals, families, and communities. The tide is turning, but it won't turn on its own. Every voice matters. Add yours.
