F Terry Katsma (R - WI)

Position on Marijuana Legalization

Katsma said he is not in favor of legalization of recreational marijuana but noted the reports of people who benefit from medical use. Bills that have been introduced around medical use could be looked at, Katsma said, but more studies need to be done. - source
