Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) paid a visit to a cannabis manufacturing facility in Sacramento this week, touring the operation and speaking with staff as he continues his push for federal legalization.
Just weeks after reintroducing the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA) with 17 other Democratic senators, Booker took a trip to Natura on Monday, gaining additional industry perspective from a leading manufacturer in the state. John Schmidt, vice president of business development at Natura, said the company was "thrilled" to host Booker "for an insightful dive into the world of cannabis."
With the CAOA reintroduction, the senator is "championing federal reform to prioritize justice and empower states," he said. "Grateful for his support as we pave the way for a brighter, more equitable future. Cory Booker is truly a champion of cannabis and plant medicine."
At the facility, Booker said "we're in a weird place in our country where we've had this prohibition that has lasted for generations that has really punished folks."
