Cohen Pushes for Marijuana Sentence Commutations

Published 11 hours ago
Description

After 19 years in Congress, Memphis rep Steve Cohen is making his final push for marijuana reform—sending a letter to President Trump urging him to commute sentences of all federal inmates jailed for non-violent marijuana offenses. Joining him are lawmakers like Senator Cory Booker, arguing that outdated federal laws have unjustly separated families and wasted lives, especially as most states have legalized cannabis. They’re calling not just for sentence commutations, but also for reentry support to help those released rebuild their lives.
