We had a veteran’s round table in Mt. Pleasant last week and one of the veterans there was talking about how he went in to get treated and they just prescribed opioids. And he got addicted to Oxycontin whenever, sometimes, medicinal marijuana would have sufficed.

I think medical marijuana should be legal. I’m not sure it should be at Schedule 2, the same level as oxycontin. I don’t view it as that strong. As it relates to recreational marijuana, I think that should be left to the states. The federal government becomes too involved in our lives sometimes, and I think that

should be a state issue determined at the state level.” (2018)
