Alex Merced on Drugs

 

 


Marijuana is not a gateway drug; end the drug war

Q: Do you support or oppose "Marijuana is a gateway drug"?

A: ˙Marijuana is not a gateway drug; if drug users use harder drugs it's because they are force to buy from the black market where drug dealers will push harder drugs. End the drug war, end the violence in our streets.

Supports legalizing and regulating marijuana.

Merced supports the AFA survey question on marjuana legalization

The American Family Association Action Voter Guide asked if candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Marijuana should be legalized and regulated like tobacco and alcohol.' American Family Association Action (AFA Action) produces the online "iVoterGuide" for selected state and federal races. The mission of AFA Action is to inform and mobilize individuals to strengthen the biblical foundations of America.
