I will vote to legalize if that is the only alternative to current practice in my state (it is a crime to have it without a Med prescription), but I would much rather see decriminalization of all recreational amounts and allow people to grow their own up to a specific amount. I would keep high volume dealing criminal.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
