How Charles Koch Intends To Make Cannabis Legal
. For politicians on both sides of the aisle who still oppose cannabis, Koch has two questions:
By criminalizing cannabis, Koch says, “it has huge negative manifestations, not only for the individuals who get trapped in that system, but for society.” Koch and the Koch network have raised and spent billions of dollars over the last few decades, with a third going to right-of-center public policy. Koch admitted in his latest book, , that he regrets stoking partisanship. “Boy, did we screw up. What a mess!” he wrote.In 2015, for instance, Koch threw his political muscle behind Weldon Angelos, a Utah man who was serving a 55-year sentence for selling about $1,000 worth of weed to an informant in the early aughts.
In 2016, Angelos was unexpectedly granted a sentence reduction after serving 13 years. Last summer, Angelos reached out to Koch to see if he wanted to work together to support marijuana legalization, and the Cannabis Freedom Alliance was born.
