California: NAACP will back marijuana legalization ballot measure
The California chapter of the NAACP is announcing its support for a marijuana legalization ballot measure, saying current laws unfairly target people of color. The group plans to highlight findings at a news conference Tuesday that it says show young people of color have faced a lopsided number of arrests for low-level marijuana crimes. The measure on the November ballot would let adults possess up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use.
