Cruz Bustamante on Drugs

Democratic Lt. Governor; former Candidate for CA Governor

Supports medical marijuana, if properly distributed

Q: Do you support or oppose the use of medical marijuana and do you support Proposition 215 legalizing its use?

BUSTAMANTE: I support the vote of the people. They clearly were very, very clear about this issue. When people are suffering, and that is the open thing that is available, as long as it is properly distributed, I think it is the right thing to do.
