ACLU of Maryland
Starting on July 1st, 2023, marijuana will officially become legalized for recreational use in Maryland for adults 21 and up. This also includes a new law that bans police stops and searches based on the alleged smell of marijuana. But is that enough for Maryland to become a model for marijuana and racial justice?
On this episode we’ll examine that question and see if marijuana reparations are possible for those communities most harmed by The War on Drugs – a war whose ramifications are still felt today.
