There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of law-abiding Americans including veterans, cancer patients and chronic pain patients who use to alleviate their pain and symptoms. Let’s allow them to move out of the shadows and openly take care of their health care needs without worrying about breaking outdated laws based on US SENATOR - D Gary Trauner A A A A B A A A A antiquated thinking. US REP - R The war on drugs has made criminals out of valuable citizens in the community and needs to end. I would advocate for this on a moral, US REP - D Greg Hunter A A A A A A A A A fiscal, medical and humanitarian level.

I do not support legalization of marijuana for recreational use. When it comes to developing treatments for medical conditions and diseases, I think we need to consider a wide variety of solutions. As I'm sure you are aware, marijuana is currently classified as a schedule one substance which prohibits scientific research into its effectiveness. I support efforts on the federal level to reclassify it to a schedule two so accurate information can be obtained and the safety and dosage can be determined. Until we have further studies and more conclusive evidence about how marijuana can be used to successfully treat diseases without negatively impacting patients and families, I remain concerned about its use. In the meantime, substances like marinol have been shown to provide similar medical benefits to marijuana. Prescribed substances like this are more GOVERNOR - R reliable and have fewer impurities than organics.

I've long supported of marijuana as a legislator. I support well regulated medical marijuana, but I do not think GOVERNOR - D Mary A. Throne B A A A D C A A A is ready for fully legalized recreational marijuana. I agree with FDA approved medicines that are THC/ based.

I think it's ridiculous for anyone to be sent to jail for marijuana use - it's a waste of resources. We have better things to do, but I do not STATE SENATOR 09 - D Declined want to answer special interest surveys. STATE SENATOR 11 - R Larry Hicks STATE SENATOR 11 - D Lee Ann Stephenson A B B B C C B B C In my experience in seeing how medical marijuana has helped veterans and people with disabilities, there is no reason this should STATE SENATOR 13 - R Tom James A A A A B A A A A not be an option. STATE SENATOR 13 - D John M. Hastert STATE SENATOR 15 - R Wendy Davis Schuler A A A B C C A B B STATE SENATOR 17 - R Kate Mead I support medical access. We need to take away felony penalties; people should not be in jail for cannabis. Medical should be available, but I'm not yet ready to STATE SENATOR 17 - D A A A A D C A A A accept recreational use.

Until medical marijuana can be better controlled and dispensed I am opposed to it's legalization. I will never be in favor of legalization of STATE SENATOR 19 - R R J Kost B D D D F F D D D recreational Marijuana Thank you for your survey. I did not answer the question regarding the licensed medical practitioner because I'm not sure what that means. The question STATE SENATOR 21 - R A A A B B C B n B was not clear. STATE SENATOR 21 - D Hollis Hackman A A A A C B A A A A medical program like the Michigan plan with a prescription STATE SENATOR 23 - R B B B A F F B D A available from a physician is acceptable.

I have sympathy for people with medical conditions, but medical STATE REP 04 - R Dan R. Kirkbride Declined laws will open the door to recreational use, and we don't want that.

I have seen many important gains in research and comfort to those suffering with chronic pain & illnesses such as cancer and debilitating diseases (epilepsy). If we could alleviate those suffering within our state and work within our communities and our university on furthering the research about it's various forms and healing properties for the betterment of our people, then I would support STATE REP 05 - R B B B C C C B B B such initiatives.

Until the feds change their Schedule I directive, I cannot support rec. There are too many pitfalls. However, when it comes to medicinal STATE REP 09 - R Landon J. Brown use, I am for that when narrowly listed for a set of specific ailments.

The state is losing millions because of the lack of distinction between STATE REP 12 - D Ryan Lindsey A A A A A A A A A marijuana and . STATE REP 13 - D A A A A A A A A A STATE REP 14 - R Daniel Furphy

The questions I did not answer have complicated answers. I'm a nurse and know that medical practitioners abuse narcotic and other controlled drugs. However, it is crazy to put people in jail for pot use and there are a few medical reasons to use this. We are talking social expectations. I'm a science based decision maker. Young people are harmed by too much pot use. But I'm against jail for anyone who uses pot. Fines seem appropriate as long as they are not cheap for the rich and exorbitant for the poor & the young. We need to STATE REP 14 - D Lorraine Saulino-Klein B B n A n n C C A decriminalize this drug and get control of the use. STATE REP 15 - R I support (medical, decrim, and regulated adult STATE REP 16 - R Barbara Allen use), but I do not fill out surveys. STATE REP 16 - D A A A A A A A A A Medical marijuana could truly be an effective treatment for some issues. I wouldn’t be able to support its use for simple injuries - bumps bruises or pain that is not properly diagnosed. The financial issue hasn’t turned out as expected in Colorado. The costs of overall legalization may appear to be higher than the actual financial STATE REP 17 - R Traci Ciepiela A B B B F F B B C benefit.

We need to have a plan. I have reservations due to the wording of the statements in this survey. There has to be a coherent way to regulate {while} omitting the possibility for a free-for-all. Hemp must be tested to prove there is no THC. I'm in favor of medical if prescribed by a licensed physician and the manufacturing and distribution is tightly controlled. I believe in other methods {of rehabilitation} rather than jail time providing how many occurrences STATE REP 17 - D JoAnn Dayton A D C C C D B C C of arrest and quantity.

Some constituents want it, but we need to have STATE REP 49 - R B B B B F F D D C tightly regulated medical and no recreational use. [A] hemp [bill] passed at 0.3% THC not 0%. If a person wants medical marijuana they probably have it. Wyoming is NOT going to be the next Oregon, Washington, or Colorado if you want a sustainable hemp industry - the two do not mix. Ask Colorado; THC levels are above the 0.3% threshold and WY is where CO is asking to come to STATE REP 50 - R A C C B F D C C B raise hemp for CBD oil.

I believe that the Legislature has no place in deciding a medical treatment, that is between you and your medical provider. I believe that Wyoming should not prevent a person that is receiving any medication in another state from using their medication when in Wyoming. I support decriminalization of the use of marijuana. I do not support "legalization" just so the state can use it as a revenue STATE REP 50 - D Mike Specht A A A A A C A A A enhancement. STATE REP 51 - R STATE REP 52 - R William ( Bill ) Pownall STATE REP 53 - R Roy Edwards B B C C D D C C C The biggest problem is that the control of medical marijuana is so lax that I cannot support it. I would support legislation that allows a STATE REP 54 - R Lloyd Charles Larsen A F F B F F F F F Wyoming licensed physician to prescribe it. STATE REP 55 - R David R Miller STATE REP 56 - R STATE REP 57 - R Chuck Gray STATE REP 57 - D Jane Ifland A A A A A A A A A We have bigger problems. STATE REP 58 - R Patrick "Pat" Sweeney CBD is very important and non-psychoactive. Decriminalization must happen; we cannot continue to put people in jail for victim-less crimes. The costs of prohibition can bring down our country's STATE REP 59 - R A A A A A A A A A finances. Marijuana should never have been classified as a Schedule I drug. Decriminalization of marijuana and criminal justice reform are intertwined issues. Marijuana and hemp both have economic STATE REP 59 - D Laurie L Longtine A A A A A B A A B benefits for Wyoming.
