Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : I'd also like to note that as federal and state regulations change, we still need important limitations on trafficking, marketing, and underage sales of marijuana.
47% : Third: We classify marijuana at the same level as heroin - and more serious than fentanyl.
46% : I'm asking @SecBecerra and the Attorney General to initiate the process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.
39% : Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely for possessing marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either.
