Elissa Slotkin in NORML survey of 2024 candidate stances

On Drugs: Rated A- by NORML:decriminalize marijuana; let voters decide

NORML Politician Info: rated A-
• Candidate: Elissa Slotkin (D-MI)
• Comments: "I strongly believe that for this matter, voters should be able to decide...I support the use of medical marijuana...I also support the decriminalization of marijuana." (Campaign Website)
• "I have seen firsthand how medical marijuana can help people who are dealing with long-term chronic conditions. I support the use of medical marijuana, which was approved by Michigan voters in 2008. I also support the decriminalization of marijuana. Every dollar used to prosecute marijuana offenses is a law enforcement dollar that isn't being used for more pressing issues. By removing marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, we can reduce the backlog of non-violent, marijuana-related incarcerations--and streamline our criminal justice system. Like a lot of folks, I am reviewing the impact of the legalization of recreational marijuana." (1/1/18)
