Rodriguez supports marijuana legalization "if used for medical reasons and prescribed by a licensed physician," he said in response to Cal NORML's questionnaire. He thinks taxes on cannabis are too low but would support lowering them for medical marijuana and equity businesses. He said he supports employment rights for cannabis users, but wrote, "I believe when you are off the clock you can do whatever you want, however if you get injured on the job and it is because your cannabis consumption then the workers comp laws should not allow the person to file claims under workers comp or sue the employer." To the question, "Do you support the expansion of cannabis consumption spaces and events?" Rodriguez replied, "No, I do not."
