As a doctor I am knowledgeable about the effects of marijuana. Marijuana is less of a health risk than many legal substances, including cigarettes and alcohol. I believe our current laws criminalizing marijuana cause far more harm than good.

• Decriminalize adult use of marijuana and allow personal cultivation
• Expand medical marijuana program and improve availability to veterans
• Promote research into medical uses, including treatment for opioid addiction
• Expunge past non-violent offenses related to marijuana possession
• Replace failed prohibition laws with sensible, hassle-free regulations that will create jobs, generate millions annually in tax revenues, improve  criminal justice equity, free up law enforcement to focus on actual crimes, and advance medical science
