Mitt Romney (R - UT)
Senator Romney's view on cannabis legalization has varied over time and is not quite clear. He has claimed for many years that marijuana is a gateway drug and the people of Utah do not want it legalized. However, he has recently said he is open to learning more information about the affects of the job.
Position on Marijuana Legalization
He opposes the legalization of cannabis for adult recreational use in a form similar to alcohol or tobacco products.
Position on Medical Marijuana
Romney said that while he does support medical marijuana, he does not support the Utah ballot initiative because it would allow stores to sell edibles and candy to customers, and he believes cannabis should only be sold at pharmacies with a prescription from a doctor.
