"Maryland is poised to replace the disastrous policy of prohibition with equitable legalization," said Karen O’Keefe, MPP's director of state policies.

"Cannabis prohibition is a failed policy, and I think voters recognize that. Polling has consistently shown that a majority of Marylanders support legalizing cannabis for adults," said Olivia Naugle, MPP's senior policy analyst.

"Our report is further evidence that ending cannabis prohibition offers tremendous financial benefits for state governments," said Toi Hutchinson, MPP's President and CEO.

MPP's Southeast Legislative Manager Kevin Caldwell joins Tommy Tucker to talk about marijuana in Louisiana and what's to come with legalization.

"The legalization and regulation of cannabis for adults has generated billions of dollars in tax revenue, funded important services and programs at the state level and created thousands of jobs across the country. Meanwhile, the states that lag behind continue to waste government resources on enforcing archaic cannabis laws that harm far too many Americans," said Toi Hutchinson, MPP's President and CEO.

MPP Director of Government Relations Chris Lindsey speaks on FOX 26 in Texas about the recently passed House legalization bill.

MPP's Karen O'Keefe, director of State Policies, appears on the podcast, Capitol Closeup, to discuss the future of cannabis in New Hampshire and the U.S.

"It is past time for New Hampshire to stop being an island of prohibition. But it’s important that the bill to replace prohibition actually works," said Karen O'Keefe, MPP's director of state policies.

"While this is historic in nature and warrants praise, it is necessary to also recognize that the fight is still far from over," said Toi Hutchinson, President and CEO of the Marijuana Policy Project.

“In 2022, you can still lose your job, you can still lose your children in a custody battle, you can still be in a situation where you can’t apply for a student loan or sign a lease. There are all kinds of negative consequences for millions of people that today are still living under prohibition," said Toi Hutchinson, MPP's President and CEO.
