C Gary McManus (D - FL)

Candidate in race for State House District 15 on Tuesday, November 5, 2024

Position on Marijuana Legalization

"Marijuana is largely harmless. I do think it makes sense to regulate the strength of recreational marijuana in order to keep it harmless. Thats good for consumers and the cannabis industry." (Candidate Survey Response)

"Even if someone is opposed to marijuana use, locking up non-violent offenders for marijuana serves no purpose and accomplishes nothing. On a similar note, private prisons should be abolished." (Candidate Survey Response)

On the topic of automatic expungement of non-violent marijuana possession convictions, McManus noted, "People shouldn't have their lives ruined over minor offenses." (Candidate Survey Response)

Position on Marijuana Decriminalization

"Law enforcement has bigger fish to fry. Illegal possession laws also lead to stop-and-frisk violations that disproportionately impact minority communities." (Candidate Survey Response)

Position on Medical Marijuana

"Marijuana is efficacious for certain medical conditions and should be permitted. Limited recreational use is fine also, as it's adverse event profile is no worse than alcohol (possibly better)." (Candidate Survey Response)
