JEFFERSON CITY â The âEnd the War on Drugs Lobby Dayâ is taking place at the Capitol Tuesday.
The event is being hosted by Crossing Paths. Crossing Paths Executive Director/Treasurer/lobbyist, Bharani Kumar is leading those in attendance around the capitol.
The purpose of the event is to show state representatives and senators that citizens support issues in the Missouri Capitol such as the legalization of marijuana, psychedelic medicine, de-felonizing drug possession and other criminal justice reforms. Â
This event comes after legislation was filed to possibly legalize these topics in 2022.Â
Executive Director for PreventEd, an organization that focuses on reducing and preventing the harms of drug and alcohol addictions, Nichole Dawsey said she does not agree with everything the group seems to represent, but is glad the event is taking place.Â
