- "I believe that the marijuana debate is fundamentally a statesâ rights issue. The 10th Amendment gives states the power to make decisions on issues like this. Doctors should have the right to prescribe medical marijuana. On top of that, the economic benefits of legalizing recreational marijuana are undeniable. Additionally, the Cato Institute recently highlighted a study that found opioid overdose rates dropped 25 percent in states that legalized marijuana. While there are certainly risks that come along with any substance, I firmly believe this debate should be taking place without the disruption of an overreaching federal government. I will work with representatives from states who have also legalized marijuana recreationally to amend the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 and remove marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug."
