Legalize it.

It's not just about tax revenue though — it's about justice.

Pamela, We will eventually legalize weed in the United States. You and I both know it. It's a question of when is this going to happen, not if. So why are we putting this off? Prohibition costs states like Pennsylvania big money. States like Illinois have already banked more than $100 million in weed tax revenue. New Jersey just voted to legalize weed and 40% of Pennsylvanians live like 20 minutes or less from the border. Why should New Jersey make all that tax revenue, but not Pennsylvania? In fact, PA could raise $5 billion in the next 20 years through a weed tax. It's not just about tax revenue though — it's about justice. 20,000 Pennsylvania residents are charged with weed possession every year. White and Black people use weed at the same rate, yet Black people are four times more likely to be arrested and charged for its use. Legal weed is an opportunity to create jobs and support our farmers. It would be an economic boon at a time when we could badly use a break. So today, we're starting a big petition. Add your name if you agree: we've got to make weed legal in the United States. It's time to end the era of prohibition. Sign your name Once you sign, send this petition around to friends or family so we can get more people speaking out. Public pressure is the only way we're going to get this done.
