Position on Marijuana Legalization

INDY Week Candidate Questionnaire 2024

11. Do you support reforming North Carolina’s marijuana laws? Do you support full legalization? Please explain your position. 

Yes, I support reforming the marijuana or cannabis laws in North Carolina, particularly for use in palliative care and for medical purposes. According to the Mayo Clinic: “The herb is typically used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with cancer treatment, loss of appetite and weight loss associated with HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, chronic pain and muscle spasms.” I am in favor of the legalization of marijuana, notably, with age restrictions due to its potential adverse impacts on brain development in children and teenagers.

Indy Week Candidate Questionnaire - 4/27/22:

11. Do you support reforming North Carolina’s marijuana laws? Do you support full legalization? Please explain your position. 

Yes, I support reforming North Carolina’s marijuana laws and the full legalization of marijuana. The laws have been based on myth and racism. As with any substance, including food, risks exist in over consumption or misuse. Nevertheless, marijuana is well known to have beneficial effects, such as alleviating pain and stress.
