She chatted with The Wisconsin Cannabis Activist Network and had this to say "I support marijuana reform. To me, it’s common sense: We would benefit from the tax revenue like we do for alcohol sales. Purchasing legal marijuana would be more regulated and safe than it is to purchase on the streets today. I do not think marijuana production/distribution/possession should be prosecuted - we’ve ruined too many lives by imprisoning people, many of them young, up to 20 years for even a half an ounce, and we don’t have the resources to properly educate or help them gain marketable skills while they’re incarcerated. In addition, many businesses won’t hire someone convicted of a federal drug offense. We’ll also free up our law enforcement resources to focus on other community safety efforts.

And most importantly, the public supporting the issue, which drives my support above all else. My job, if elected, is to listen to my constituents. I see no reason why Wisconsin cannot move forward with marijuana reform.
