“Yes, we passed medical marijuana in North Dakota, but it’s moving very slowly,” Dobervich said. “It’s time for North Dakota to open up – open our minds a little bit and get rid of this black market.”

The war on drugs, specifically marijuana, considered a Schedule 1 drug on a par with heroin, has taken a massive toll on people’s lives, the judicial system, and jails.

She too believes Democrats and Republicans can come together on the issue of legalizing marijuana in North Dakota.

“I believe that they can,” Dobervich said. “There are government regulation issues, there are taxation issues, business issues, jobs, economic and medical issues. So no matter what party you are affiliated to, marijuana is not or should not be a partisan issue.” Link
