Tom Perriello in Twitter.com election tweets

Why are we jailing people for possessing small amounts of marijuana?
4/20 isn't just a joke. Today we should be frank on the need to get serious about reforming our backwards marijuana laws.
A veteran I met has chronic pain. His doctor prescribed opioids. He didn't want to get addicted, so he buys a joint in DC to dull his pain.
When three Virginians are dying every day from opioid addiction, why are we continuing to prohibit medical marijuana for pain treatment?
It is long past time here in Virginia to fix this. Opioid addiction is a public health crisis, not a criminal crisis.
It's time to allow medical marijuana to help combat this & find alternate pathways for treatment. Decriminalizing marijuana is a no-brainer.
As governor, I will lead these fights to take on our backwards marijuana laws.
