Conservative PAC falsely claims Missouri marijuana measure advances ‘critical race theory’
JEFFERSON CITY — A Missouri Republican’s political action committee is criticizing a plan to encourage disadvantaged people to enter the cannabis industry, accusing supporters of being “woke” and engaging in a “far left campaign.”
The Missouri constitutional Conservatives PAC falsely claims voters will put “critical race theory” in the state constitution if they vote yes on Amendment 3 to legalize the recreational use of marijuana on Nov. 8.
The 39-page plan creates the position of chief equity officer, who will be tasked with providing information to people eligible for marijuana “microbusiness” licenses under the constitutional amendment.
“Amendment 3 would put critical race theory in the Missouri Constitution through the creation of a chief equity officer,” the PAC claims on its website. “Missouri’s woke medical marijuana industry and their far left campaign affiliates are planning to advance critical race theory.”
critical race theory refers to the study of systemic racism in society.
Notably, though, Amendment 3 doesn’t mention any race as a criteria to qualify for a marijuana microbusiness license.
