About Us - BOWL PAC

BOWL PAC works to unify the public, interest groups, and policymakers behind a comprehensive approach to marijuana legalization and justice for those who have been harmed under its criminalization. Our goal is to mobilize citizens who strongly support legalization yet may not turn out to vote to cast their ballots in support of pro-legalization candidates and/or against candidates who support the ongoing prohibition and criminalization of marijuana.
