Regulate marijuana federally, like we do for alcohol
Q: Prohibit federal government from interfering with state marijuana legalization or decriminalization?
Dean Heller (R): Unclear. Personally opposed but respects will of voters. Asked federal government to consult with
Nevada's governor before taking federal action, but hasn't sponsored STATES Act.
Jacky Rosen (D): Yes, co-sponsored STATES Act to do this. Also a bill to regulate federally like alcohol.

Legalize medical marijuana and recreational marijuana
Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) released the following statement on news reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is expected to rescind an Obama-era policy which effectively allowed states with legalized marijuana to continue cultivation,
distribution, and consumption for both recreational and medicinal purposes:
"Nevadans made it clear at the ballot box in 2016 that they support the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes, and their decision should stand," said
Rosen. "Local changes in marijuana policy in recent years have resulted in millions of dollars in new revenue for Nevada's state budget, thousands of new jobs, and countless medical benefits for Nevadans suffering from PTSD, cancer, and other illnesses.
This federal overreach by President Trump's Department of Justice will create uncertainty and confusion for Nevadans. These reported actions are an insult to Nevada voters, an affront to states' rights, and a threat to our local economy."
