In an interview with Colorado station KRDO-TV, Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan says he believes it’s up to the states to decide whether to legalize medical marijuana.
“My personal position on these issues has been let the states decide what they want to do with these things,” he explains. “This is something that is not a high priority of ours.”
Voters in Colorado will decide whether to legalize medical marijuana this November with Amendment 64 on the ballot.
According to KRDO-TV, Ryan made clear that he “doesn’t believe” in the effort, but he nevertheless feels the issue should be reconciled at the state level.
