Marijuana Policy Project

The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) operates as a leading advocacy organization dedicated to reforming marijuana policy through evidence-based legislative and regulatory change. The organization's core mission centers on reducing the harms associated with both marijuana consumption and the legal frameworks designed to prohibit its use, with particul... ar focus on addressing the consequences of criminal incarceration related to marijuana offenses. MPP pursues a strategic approach to policy reform that prioritizes decriminalization and the expansion of medical access for patients under physician supervision. The organization works to eliminate criminal penalties for marijuana use while simultaneously advancing opportunities for seriously ill individuals to access cannabis as a therapeutic option. This dual focus reflects MPP's conviction that criminal justice reform and medical access represent complementary pathways toward more rational drug policy. The organization engages in comprehensive advocacy work spanning legislative advocacy, public education, and coalition building with medical professionals, patient advocates, and policy experts. Through these efforts, MPP seeks to shift public discourse and governmental action toward approaches grounded in public health principles rather than punitive measures.Read More
