2024 WY Senate race: on Drugs

John Barrasso: Rated F by NORML: no medical marijuana

NORML Politician Info: rated F
• Candidate: John Barrasso (R-WY) Holds office U.S. Senate; Candidate for Senate on August 20, 2024
• Summary: NO MEDICAL USE
• Comments:
• He wrote in a constituent letter that he understands "the impact of a life-long struggle with pain on people's lives, but there remain legal and proven ways to safely address those concerns as opposed to the unfettered use of any cannabidiol or marijuana product." (2022)
• "Q: Does our demand for drugs motivate the Mexican drug gangs?
  BARRASSO: I really do not ever approve of this 'let's blame Americans first' approach. These are narcotic traffickers. It is a network of criminals, and we need to do everything we can to disrupt the entire network. If they weren't moving drugs, the same criminal networks would just do another form of crime to try to make profits." (3/26/2009)

Scott Morrow: Decriminalize and automatically expunge criminal records

"The federal laws should all be consistent with the multiple states who have decriminalized or re-legalized MJ. Appropriate regulations to ensure clean usable MJ should be enacted by HHS.

"Not only should automatic expungement of any criminal record for MJ possession be introduced, passed and signed by POTUS, but anyone incarcerated should be immediately pardoned for such." (Candidate Survey Response)
