New Jersey CannaBusiness Association President Scott Rudder on Tuesday praised the state branch of Americans for Prosperity for the latter group’s backing of legalized marijuana.
“Advocates from all sides of the political spectrum have come together because they know that legalization is the right thing to do,” Rudder said. “At a time when opponents are ramping up their efforts to distort the truth about cannabis, having proponents like AFP-NJ in our corner will go a long way. They know that legalization will create jobs in New Jersey, that it will help stop the injustices of cannabis related arrests, and that it is just the right thing to do.”
AFP-NJ backed the state’s push to legalization earlier in the day, citing benefits to public safety.
