Contributing sentiments towards policy:
36% : You will create another point of contact with law enforcement - one that could be negative, harmful, perpetuate criminal justice issues and imprisonment, or worse.34% : What started as self-initiated stops by police then leads to other criminal justice charges and issues like mass incarceration, criminal records, or worse.
33% : But, we find ourselves in a paradox of legalizing marijuana while outlawing and criminalizing menthols.
