Robert Sarvis on Drugs

Libertarian platform: Legalize marijuana

In 2013, Sarvis was vastly outspent by the two major-party candidates but managed to get 6.5 percent of the vote. Libertarians will nominate their candidate at a party convention in Richmond on Feb. 8. Sarvis said he will run on a similar platform as last year, including small government, a reduction of spending, legalization of marijuana and allowing same-sex couples to marry.
