| Only for proven medical purposes. Medical Marijuana doesn't have the large amounts of THC.... THC is the reason I will not support recreational marijuana as in the case of Colorado. Now more investigation is needed on this issue of recreational marijuana. | |||

In congress, I will get bi-partisan support if intervention is need it, we must investigate, analysis the situation before intervention anywhere. | |||
