"I support the legalization and regulation of the responsible use of marijuana by adults. This policy would create a regulated market to ensure product safety, quality, and proper age restrictions, reducing the risks associated with the illegal market. Legalization would generate significant tax revenue, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth. It would also provide opportunities for public education on responsible use while limiting access to minors. Legalizing and regulating marijuana is a sensible policy that promotes public health, safety, and aligns with modern societal views...I support the current ballot initiative Amendment 3."

"I believe the federal prohibition of marijuana is outdated and harmful. It undermines public health by promoting unregulated, unsafe products and perpetuates social injustices, disproportionately affecting minority communities. Legalizing marijuana would ensure quality control, generate significant economic benefits, and rectify systemic racial inequalities. Furthermore, it would expand access to medical cannabis for patients in need and facilitate important research. Ending this prohibition is essential for a healthier, fairer, and more prosperous society." (Candidate Survey Response)

"I strongly advocate for the automatic expungement of non-violent marijuana possession convictions. These convictions have long-lasting and unjust consequences, impacting individuals' ability to secure employment, housing, and education. As society's views on marijuana have evolved and many states have moved toward legalization or decriminalization, it is only fair to correct past injustices. Automatic expungement would provide a fresh start for countless individuals, particularly those from minority communities disproportionately affected by harsh drug laws. This policy is essential for promoting social justice, reducing recidivism, and enabling affected individuals to fully participate in society." (Candidate Survey Response)

"I firmly support the decriminalization of simple possession of marijuana. Criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana are disproportionately harsh and have led to significant social and economic harm, particularly in minority communities. Decriminalizing possession would reduce the burden on our criminal justice system, allowing law enforcement to focus on more serious crimes. It would also prevent the lifelong consequences that a criminal record can impose on individuals for minor, non-violent offenses. This policy change is a crucial step toward a more just and equitable society, aligning our laws with the evolving views of the public on marijuana use." (Candidate Survey Response)

"I strongly support the legalization of medical marijuana. Scientific research and patient testimonials have consistently demonstrated that marijuana can provide significant therapeutic benefits for a variety of medical conditions, including chronic pain, epilepsy, PTSD, and cancer-related symptoms. Legalizing medical marijuana would ensure that patients have safe and legal access to this important treatment option, under the guidance of healthcare professionals. Additionally, it would facilitate further research into its medical benefits and potential risks, contributing to more informed and effective healthcare practices. Legalizing medical marijuana is a compassionate and evidence-based policy that prioritizes patient care and well-being." (Candidate Survey Response)
