Regardless of her "cannabis position" she seems like one bad ass chick!
If she did indeed try cannabis, and just didn't like it so what? I would think that it would have been news here if a newly elected governor of AK had an agenda against cannabis. So maybe, maybe, she is tolerant, and respectful of peoples choice to use it FOR ANY REASON THEY WANT BE IT MEDICAL OR OTHERWISE!
It is a big red flag though, for cannabis anyway, to be a "fast rising star in the GOP". That gives me some caution. However, if she is really really conservative, (as opposed to just being a "republican"),then I would bet even if she personally does not use or like it, that she would not be supportive of legislating against it. We will soon see though! All in all seems to be an excellent choice. Hell not knowing much more about her than what has been posted, I am half inclined to have her as president over McCain!
