Cori Bush actually said...

"Criminalization, simply put, is not an effective public safety policy."

"This punitive approach creates more pain, increases substance use, and leaves millions of people to live in shame and isolation."

"If the Federal Government takes leadership, we will see more responsible policy at the State level."

"Ending the criminalization of simple drug possession does not mean turning a blind eye to the misery that substance use disorder can cause."
