In response to 2020 NC Family Policy Council question, "Should NC legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes?" Crawford responded NO with the note, "The vast majority of Californians using "medical marijuana" are using it for drugs not therapy."

WLOS ABC 13 News Interview, 9/12/2018:

Do you believe marijuana should be legal either medicinally or recreationally or both?
I can understand and truly empathize with those actually stricken by cancer or some of these other terribly debilitating diseases. I've watched more than one family member go through this in the past two decades. However, one only has to look at California to see the absolute abuse of "medicinal marijuana". As for recreational use, just examine the statistics on the rise of life-threatening DUI/DWI driving resulting from this in Colorado and other states which have recently legalized this activity. Marijuana is absolutely a gateway drug, too, so I question whether any of this is good for our society, as a whole.

An 'F' letter grade indicates that this candidate has expressed opposition to marijuana law reform (medical use/decriminalization), though they may have voted for legislation for minor reform (CBD/hemp).
