Legalized Marijuana In New Jersey To Bring Unprecedented Reinvestment Into Communities Disproportionately Impacted By Prohibition, Advocates Say
New Jersey’s move to legalize marijuana isn’t just a revenue maker. It will also help communities disproportionately impacted by its prohibition.
Advocates say the legislation brings an unprecedented level of community reinvestment, CBS2’s Lisa Rozner reported.
Nafeesah Goldsmith recounted police raiding her home in Neptune, New Jersey when she was a child. Cops said they found more than an ounce of pot and arrested her mom.
“I am still, right now, 12 years old taking to you, seeing those guns and hearing those voices,” Goldsmith said to Rozner.
