Quote : “As someone running for federal office who also worked as a U.S. attorney, I would like to see [marijuana] taken off the Schedule 1 controlled substances list. Because quite frankly, that means there’s no known medical use and it can’t be studied. And we all know that that’s simply not the case. So that’s the first thing that I would like to see happen.” (2018)

Qu ote: “I want to do that carefully. I have four kids. We know that when marijuana is decriminalized or legalized that crime goes down, that … you start to move in a good way against the over-incarceration of young men, but you do also see a rise in use among children and that’s a big concern to me. … People have asked me about the New Jersey [cannabis legalization] legislation. And even though I don’t work in Trenton I have said there’s reasons to move forward on this. I just would caution that if we’re going to do that, we should be thoughtful about how we do that so that we can protect people.” (2018)
