Hillary Clinton Open To Trying State Marijuana Legalization JUNE 17, 2014 Hillary Clinton is open to trying marijuana legalization at the state level, although she thinks more research is necessary on the benefits of medical marijuana. Asked about her position in marijuana, Clinton said during a CNN “Town Hall” Tuesday night that “states are the laboratories of democracy” and that “I want to wait and see what the evidence is” in the two states that have already legalized recreational marijuana. She expressed seemingly greater hesitation on medical marijuana, however, saying, “At the risk of committing radical candor, I have to say, I think we need to be very clear about the benefits of marijuana use for medicinal purposes.” “I don’t think we’ve done enough research yet although I think for people who are in extreme medical conditions and have anecdotal evidence that it works, there should be availability under appropriate circumstances,” she continued. She made reference to the two states that have passed recreational marijuana, but not the more than 20 that already have medical marijuana laws. Nor was she asked about federal suppression of marijuana research. youtu.be/RuslmzjIeO4
