INDY Week Candidate Questionnaire 2024
11. Do you support reforming North Carolina’s marijuana laws? Do you support full legalization? Please explain your position.
Because of the 10th Amendment, I believe North Carolina can make Marijuana legal, and indeed it ought to. In the way that I think alcohol should stay legal, I want marijuana legal even more than that, which is no more a gateway drug or danger than alcohol. It should be fully legal and modestly taxed. It especially needs to be legal for medical use which seniors deserve.
| Do you support the decriminalization of cannabis and other measures that reduce penalties for non-violent, victimless crimes? |
| Strongly Support |
