2022 VT Senate race: on Drugs


Patrick Leahy: Let legal cannabis businesses use banking system

Businesses operating legally in #VT should be able to use the banking system. I'm proud to again cosponsor the SAFE Banking Act to give businesses access to the financial services they need in the dozens of states that have legalized cannabis businesses, including Vermont.

Gerald Malloy: No "safe injection sites"; maybe legal pot at VA hospitals

In the arena of drug policy, Malloy said he would "consider" legalizing marijuana for use in U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. Welch said he would legalize marijuana but would not support legalizing other drugs. Malloy said he did not support safe injection sites; Welch said he would be "open" to them if they garnered support from the community.
