A 79 year old Republican Virginia Delegate Harvey Morgan is proposing a bill that would effectively decriminalize marijuana in the state of Virginia.

From wtkr:

What is unfortunate is what the younger Republican delegate says in the clip, that it is political suicide to support such a bill and that you would “lose your job” if you did so. His argument is basically that regardless of the merits of decriminalizing marijuana, delegates supporting the bill will not be re-elected.

This is just another example of representatives stepping up and doing what is right. It’s beyond sad to see the daily arrests made in relation to marijuana when people of legal age are able to use much more harmful substances (namely tobacco and alcohol). Once someone looks at the facts, it is hard to believe we are still embracing an illogical and harmful policy of marijuana prohibition.

Kudos to Morgan for doing what he knows is right.
