Ann Lee (b. 1929 or 1930 (age 94–95)) [1] is a woman from Houston, Texas who founded Republicans Against Marijuana Prohibition (RAMP), a conservative American group in favor of legalization of cannabis. [2] She has stated "prohibition is not conservative" and compared it to the unconstitutional Jim Crow laws of the American South. [3] Lee is anti-abortion, voted for Donald Trump, and never smoked cannabis. [4] Lee's group has been active at both in the state of Texas and at the federal level advocating legalization. [5] [2]
Long dominated by the GOP, Texas may seem an unlikely battleground for the next round of marijuana wars. But pot lobbyists say they've got a realistic shot at getting state laws changed this year, particularly with allies like Lee.
