Does Not Support Federal Legalization

Quote: “I am absolutely adamant I will not, absolutely [not] agree to the legalization of recreational marijuana.Marijuana today is completely different than it was 20 years ago. It’s a G.M.O. They are growing marijuana in such a way that the THC is much higher than it used to be. I think it’s very dangerous, and I think it’s creating a lot of problems for the states that have gone down that road. As far as the medical uses for marijuana, I believe that we need to be looking at more ways in which it could be used. So I am following the lead of the FDA…. I am also interested in criminal justice reform. So we need to be thinking about how all these things relate and how they work together. I think we need to look at what we’re doing in terms of incarcerating people that perhaps shouldn’t be incarcerated. But no to recreational, and yes to whatever the FDA can approve…. I believe that a society that legalizes something that we know is bad for our citizens, for the purpose of taxing it, is a broken society.” (2018)

Quote: “I am not in favor of legalizing marijuana There is maybe some discussion that can be had about medical marijuana, but I am not particularity in favor of doing that until we’ve had a very full conversation about what that means. So I am not in favor really of legalizing that. My understanding is that there are some alternatives that are prescription based. So the dosage is known, the purity is known, and we’re taking risks for our patients.” (2018)
