Matt Rosendale on Drugs

 

 


Medical marijuana ok; let states decide full legalization

Q: Legalize or decriminalize marijuana?

Matt Rosendale (R): Supports medical marijuana. State should determine recreational use.

Jon Tester (D): Supports medical use. Feds need to respect vote. Hesitant about full legalization, but alcohol arguably worse.

Decriminalize and handle marijuana like a prescription drug

Q: Do you support alternatives to incarceration for certain non-violent offenders, such as mandatory counseling or substance abuse treatment?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you support decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you support allowing doctors to prescribe marijuana to their patients for medicinal purposes?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you support increased restrictions on the production of medical marijuana in Montana?

A: Yes.

Rosendale adds, "Medical Marijuana should be handled like any other prescription drug . Prescribed by a doctor, manufactured in a state authorized and monitored facility, distributed by a pharmacy. If this can not be achieved, than its use shouldn't be allowed."

Strongly anti-recreational marijuana, according to AFA survey.

Rosendale opposes the AFA survey question on recreational marijuana

The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'I support the legalization of recreational marijuana'? Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): "Grounded in God; rooted in research"; they "thoroughly investigate candidates"; when they cannot "evaluate with confidence, they receive an 'Insufficient' rating" (& we exclude)
