2020 AK Senatorial race: on Drugs


Dan Sullivan: Co-sponsored SAFE Banking Act for cannabis businesses

The SAFE Banking Act would enable banks and credit unions to do business with cannabis-related businesses in states where marijuana is legal. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) introduced the SAFE Banking Act in the Senate alongside Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.). Gardner joins Alaska senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, along with Kentucky's Rand Paul and North Dakota's Kevin Cramer, as the five Republican co-sponsors.

Dan Sullivan: Opposed pot legalization; but willing to support voter will

We had our referendum in 2014, state referendum. I got asked about it a lot. I was not supportive. Well, it passed with really strong numbers. So my view on that was "Look, I'm a believer in the 10th amendment and constituents strongly supported a referendum," and I was going to try to be supportive of the federal elements that you could execute it on.

Dan Sullivan: Co-sponsored bill directing VA to research medical marijuana

The first Senate marijuana bill of the new Congress, introduced by Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT) and Dan Sullivan (R-AK), would direct the VA to conduct clinical trials on the effectiveness of medical marijuana in the treatment of conditions common among military veterans. Sullivan said, "Many of our nation's veterans already use medicinal cannabis, and they deserve to have full knowledge of the potential benefits and side effects of this alternative therapy."
