Responses to NC NORML's 2022 Candidate Questionnaire:
Do you support or oppose legalizing the use of physician-authorized medical cannabis?: Support
Comment: Our citizens, and especially our disabled veterans, deserve the best medicine for what ails them. In some cases the best medicine is cannabis, and they should have legal access to it.
Do you support or oppose decriminalizing the simple possession of marijuana?: Support
Comment: No one should go to jail (or even court for that matter) for simple possession of cannabis.)
Do you support the automatic expungement of non-violent marijuana possession convictions?: Yes
Comment: No one should have to suffer the stigma of a criminal record over cannabis.
Do you support or oppose legalizing and regulating the responsible use of marijuana by adults?: Support
Comment: NC has the potential to make over 180 Million in tax revenue from the sale of cannabis.
Not to mention the amount of time, money, and resources that will be saved by our law enforcement agencies, and our court system not having to enforce archaic prohibitionary laws.
Have publicly stated that I fully support legalization of cannabis.
