Marijuana legalization might be making strides, but there's still work to be done. Like voting out these anti-marijuana politicians.
Mitch McConnell strong opposing views on legalization are what lands him on our list of anti-marijuana politicians to watch out for.
In 2014, McConnell made a radio appearance at the University of Kentucky.
During his interview, he stated that legalizing marijuana “completely transform your society in a way that I think certainly most Kentuckians would not agree with.”
Opposing Democratic Senate candidate, Alison Lundergan Grimes, criticized McConnell for not recognizing the economic benefits of legalization, as proven by the outcome of Colorado’s legalization.
In a report by Roll Call, McConnell discussed his opinions on marijuana directly. “I don’t think an answer to this, honestly, is to go in a direction of legalizing any of these currently illegal drugs,” McConnell said.
“This whole movement in various parts of the country is a big mistake.”
Interestingly enough, McConnell is pro-hemp.
