5. Would you work to repeal the state's medical marijuana law?

Martinez: Yes. It is against federal law to distribute marijuana and there are alternative medications that meet the medical needs of patients.


6. Do you agree with former Gov. Gary Johnson that marijuana should be legal?

Martinez: No. I have seen the devastation to families and young people that illegal substances have had. Marijuana is a gateway drug to other substances and a majority of

criminal activity is often related to the use of illegal substances.
