00:00As I said when I ran for president, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.
00:06It's already legal in many states, and criminal records for marijuana possession have led to needless barriers to employment, to
00:14housing, to educational opportunities.
00:16And that's before you address the racial disparities around who suffers the consequences.
00:20While white and black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, black and brown people are arrested, prosecuted, and
00:27convicted at disproportionately higher rates.
