"“Medical’s getting big — the recreational not as big yet, but it’s growing — and there’ll be more initiatives on the ballot. It’s an area that’s still evolving, and our country’s views on it are evolving… How we deal with it nationally I think is still an open question.” (06/27/21)

"While I understand that people have strong opinions on both sides of this debate, I do not support legalizing the use of marijuana. Currently, the medical benefits from the use of marijuana are still inconclusive, and I believe that we must be careful not to increase the availability of marijuana and the use of marijuana for nonmedical reasons. However, I support the development of alternative medications that will provide relief to patients without opening the door to substance abuse."
