Position on Marijuana Legalization

I have no strong stance on it except I don't see it as a great idea so long as it is federally prohibited. You never know when the feds may crack down and I don't want people thinking they are obeying the law and then made into felons by the feds.

Position on Marijuana Decriminalization

I authored such a bill. Police should focus on more important things.

Yes, I support medical including home grows.
