Just weeks after President Biden pardoned marijuana-related sentences, Maryland voters will either legalize recreational marijuana or not with ballot question 4 on November 8th. In this special episode of “In The Courts” with Katie Barlow, she breaks down the ballot question and current discussion in the state on both sides; as well as where laws stand in Washington, D.C., Virginia, and at the federal level.
Former Baltimore Ravens player Eugene Monroe is an advocate for marijuana legalization and chairs the Yes on 4 campaign, which seeks to legalize marijuana in the state of Maryland. He turned to marijuana medically when dealing with pain and inflammation due to sports-related injuries and also supports professional leagues rethinking their regulations and adding research for sports-related injuries. He also noted that 3 out of 10 counties in Maryland have high arrest rates.
Will Jones is a firefighter in Washington D.C, and works with Smart Approaches to Marijuana. SAM is not against decriminalization and moving forward with rethinking criminal justice – but is against the growth of a marijuana industry and its impacts.
