Be Heard on Cannabis

Neighbors,

I hope you'll join us next week for a conversation about how we can safely and responsibly create a comprehensive framework for legalization of adult-use cannabis. I want to hear your thoughts and questions on the topic!

We'll have some special guests from Colorado to discuss what went well when they legalized cannabis and lessons Minnesota could take away from their experience. 

• When: Tuesday, November 19, 6:30 PM
• Where: Woodbury Central Park Amphitheater, 8595 Central Park Place, Woodbury
• Who: Hosted by myself, along with Majority Leader Ryan Winkler, Assistant Senate Minority Leader Jeff Hayden, Rep Steve Sandell, and Sen. Susan Kent with Special Guests Doug Friednash, Former Colorado Legislator and Former Chief of Staff to Gov. John Hickenlooper, and Stanley Garnett, Former District Attorney for Boulder

Legalizing cannabis for responsible adult use can increase access and affordability for people who rely on it to treat PTSD or chronic pain, allow law enforcement to focus their resources on more dangerous crimes, advance racial justice, and provide relief for the thousands of minor offenders who have been swept up in our criminal justice system. Your feedback will be important in helping us respond to the needs and concerns of Minnesotans.

I hope to see you there! 

Sincerely,

Rep. Tou Xiong
