Last month, MPP partnered with if we could get the presidential candidates on the record about serious marijuana policy reform issues. With you help and votes, we were able to get one of our questions asked of all the candidates last week!

The question: “If elected, how would your administration address the current tension between state and federal marijuana laws?

While marijuana is illegal under federal law, four states have adopted laws regulating the cultivation and distribution of marijuana for adult use, and 23 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territory of Guam have adopted laws regulating the cultivation and distribution of marijuana for medical use. Would your administration respect these jurisdictions’ policies? Or would it interfere with their efforts to carry them out?”

You can view the answers given by the Republican and Democrat candidates, and please remember to vote for our other questions so we can find out where the candidates really stand on these issues!
