Holds office State Senate District 21
Sen. Tom McInnis (R-25th District) said he opposes legalizing it for recreational uses but when asked about medical use he said, “Oh, that’s a different story. It’s got to be researched. It’s got to be proven. I want to see the data. I don’t want to see somebody’s opinion. I want to see the hard data. But, the recreational marijuana, no way.”
