2018 NV Senate race: on Drugs

Dean Heller: Let each states' voters decide on marijuana

Dean Heller (R): Unclear. Personally opposed but respects will of voters. Asked federal government to consult with Nevada's governor before taking federal action, but hasn't sponsored STATES Act.

Jacky Rosen (D): Yes, co-sponsored STATES Act to do this. Also a bill to regulate federally like alcohol.

Jacky Rosen: Regulate marijuana federally, like we do for alcohol

Jacky Rosen: Legalize medical marijuana and recreational marijuana

"Nevadans made it clear at the ballot box in 2016 that they support the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes, and their decision should stand," said Rosen. "Local changes in marijuana policy in recent years have resulted in millions of dollars in new revenue for Nevada's state budget, thousands of new jobs, and countless medical benefits for Nevadans suffering from PTSD, cancer, and other illnesses. This federal overreach by President Trump's Department of Justice will create uncertainty and confusion for Nevadans. These reported actions are an insult to Nevada voters, an affront to states' rights, and a threat to our local economy."
