Senator Deb Fischer is the only female to make our anti-marijuana politicians list. In June 2016, Fischer introduced a bill that would cut money from the Department of Justice if they didn’t comply and issue a plan to monitor state-level legalization and the transportation of the drug.

She claims that law enforcement officials throughout Nebraska informed her that the weed in Colorado is much more potent. They also discussed with her the variety of forms marijuana could come in, mentioning edibles such as gummy bears.

“This is dangerous for kids. I’m opposed to it,” Fischer was quoted saying.
