Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) unveiled a national and state effort to highlight the public-health drawbacks of marijuana.

“Why is it that someone who is an heir to an alcohol fortune would want to keep an alternative to alcohol that’s less harmful illegal?” said Tvert. “This is an effort to keep marijuana illegal when the public is overwhelmingly stating to recognize that it doesn’t work.”

 Tvert displayed a sign that purported to compare “Marijuana Sold by Stores” and “Alcohol Sold by Patrick Kennedy’s Grandfather.”
