Position on Marijuana Legalization

IndyWeek Candidate Survey NC Senate District 14 Dan Blue

11. Do you support reforming North Carolina’s marijuana laws? Do you support full legalization? Please explain your position. 

It’s time for North Carolina to take steps to legalize marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes. Marijuana has medical benefits, it has become a welcome source of revenue for other states, and legalization has lessened the burden on our justice system. 

We need to take a thoughtful approach to this, expunging past criminal records for possession, and inclusive policies that keep North Carolina farmers and local businesses at the forefront of production and sales.
