On Tuesday morning, Heather Mizeur, Democratic candidate for governor, released her plan to legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana in Maryland. "A majority of Marylanders and Americans support the legalization of marijuana because of its impact on public safety and its ability to generate badly needed revenue for critical state priorities," said Mizeur. "Legalizing, regulating, and taxing marijuana similar to the way we regulate alcohol will provide our state with increased revenue, enhance public safety, and improve environmental and economic outcomes."
Under Mizeur's proposal, taxation of marijuana would generate $157.5 million annually to be spent on early childhood education. "Legalizing, regulating, and taxing marijuana will provide Maryland with a dedicated revenue stream to make overdue and critical investments in early childhood education. Our plan will help ensure that prekindergarten is available to all children in our state."
"Finally, a Maryland gubernatorial candidate who understands the linkage between drug policy, crime and human rights," said Neill Franklin, a retired Maryland State Police officer who served for 33 years in law enforcement. We now have a chance to focus our limited police resources on violent crime and to end mass incarceration." To read Mizeur's entire plan to legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana, visit Heathermizeur
