Wendy Degroot (L - WY)
Comments
Degroot said she’s in favor of legalizing marijuana, not only as a means of diversifying Wyoming’s economy, but also to save on costs to society and the prison system.
“We have to weigh things out here: is it worth spending money to incarcerate people for marijuana? And I’m not talking about distribution or hardened criminals or crimes in conjunction with guns.” She said that people currently in prison for mere possession should be let out.
Degroot added that the crop could expand agriculture and that the state should reap the sales tax benefits that are currently going to Colorado. (10/27/20)
