Darrel Hunter on Drugs

Democratic Senate Challenger

Supports medical marijuana

Expand federally sponsored drug education and drug treatment programs.
Allow doctors to prescribe marijuana to their patients for medicinal purposes.
Hunter says, ?As long as marijuana may be prescribed in a nonsmoking form, and the doctors knowing the risks/rewards. Same for any drug, if it works then use it. Adults 35 and over should be able to "prescribe" certain drugs on their own. One should not have to beg for treatment.?

Too many crimes related to drug use

There are still too many crimes related to drug use. Back to "Just say no to drugs" and more "War on drugs" will help lower crime rates. Just because someone is rich enough not to turn to crime to get a fix does not mean that there should be unequal treatment by the law.
