Marijuana Policy

I’ve been hearing from a number of constituents who are calling for full legalization and taxation of marijuana. I think that it is much more useful to focus on reducing mandatory minimum sentences for the harder drugs and I’m hopeful that our financial crunch will create the conditions for responsible movement on sentencing policy.

Question Two on the November ballot purports to enact a “Sensible State Marijuana Policy.”  So packaged, the proposal is likely to pass.
