Sen. Rand Paul is fine with whatever D.C. voters decide to do about marijuana.

“I think there should be a certain amount of discretion for both states and territories and the District, you know,” the Kentucky Republican said outside his polling place in Bowling Green, Ky., according to Roll Call.

District of Columbia voters decide Tuesday on a ballot item which would allow the cultivation and possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use.

“I think really that when we set up our country, we intended that most crime or not crime, things that we determined to be crime or not crimes, was really intended to be determined by localities,” he said.

Paul is the ranking member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Emergency Management, Intergovernmental Relations, and the District of Columbia.

Congress is able to regulate local politics in the District of Columbia, but Paul doesn’t want the federal government to get involved should the initiative pass.

“I’m not for having the federal government get involved. I really haven’t taken a stand on … the actual legalization. I haven’t really taken a stand on that, but I’m against the federal government telling them they can’t,” Paul told Roll Call.
