Joe Mackey (D - IN)
Position on Marijuana Legalization
"Yes. We need to remove cannabis from the Schedule 1 list of the Controlled Substances Act in order to allow for medical research and legalize marijuana possession. Our Declaration of Independence was written on hemp and there is no reason why our farmers and manufacturers should be prevented from growing and processing this versatile and productive crop. We should also purge non-violent marijuana convictions" (source).
