Words: Kucinich advocates decriminalizing marijuana, supports rehabilitation over incarceration, and believes that there is a racial bias in drug enforcement and that medical marijuana should be decided by doctors and patients. “Criminalization over treatment has led to increased violent crime, misdirected resources of law enforcement and restricted Constitutional liberties. The US must rethink a policy that produces many casualties, but benefits only the prison-industrial complex.”

Actions: The National Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors has given him a rating of 87%. VOTE-HEMP has given him an “A+”.
