2018 Mississippi Senate Special Election: on Drugs


Mike Espy: Medical marijuana first; decide on recreational later

Q: Legalize or decriminalize marijuana?

Mike Espy (D): Wouldn't say absolutely no. Maybe medical first. "I would just have to know if it was safe" & "a financial benefit to the state."

Cindy Hyde-Smith (R): Likely no. Voted to block amendment that would have allowed banks to work with legitimate cannabis businesses.

Chris McDaniel (R): Leave it up to the states.
