The Federal government should not stand in the way of states that choose to legalize marijuana. Governor Johnson has advocated for removing cannabis from Schedule I of the federal Controlled Substances Act, which would allow individual states to make their own decisions about both recreational and medical marijuana -- just as they have done for decades with alcohol. Eliminating the Federal government as an obstacle to state legalization decisions is not only constitutionally sound, but would allow much-needed testing of marijuana for medical purposes, as well as regulation that reflects individual states' values and needs.
