Marijuana Legalization
On the topic of marijuana legalization, Kurtz said he’s against marijuana for recreational use. “A lot of people are intrigued by the dollar signs and the revenue they can get from that,” Kurtz said, adding there were drawbacks to legalization as well. He noted he would be open to medicinal use of marijuana if hemp proved ineffective.
