To add--Senators like Bennet really will have nothing to do with local state politics--and if you're thinking that the Federal Government is going to legalize marijuana in our life-times--forget it.

Really this is a local state issue--and it's best to study the remarks of your local state representatives and candidates to see what their comments are on medical marijuana and dispensories in this state--"before you vote."

If you have to contact them to find out, do it. I think it may surprise you what type of responses you will receive and from whom.

Again conservative Republicans believe in smaller less intrusive government--meaning less regulation. They believe in less taxes--to promote business. Typically democrats believe in bigger government--meaning more regulation--and in my life-time as we are witnessing at the national level--big spending--always means higher taxation.

So check out your local state level candidates on this particular issue before you vote.
rightwinger Reviewed by rightwinger on . Candidates we support I'd like to start thinking about candidates for office that have shown (and voted) in favor of the mmj patient and small caregiver & dispensaries. In general, in my opinion, favoring/voting for 1284 would be an obvious dis-qualifier. I don't think party affiliation should be a consideration - just the candidates stance and history on mmj / legalization. We do hope for converts, so some consideration could be given to recent and outright good behavior. what do you think? Rating: 5
