Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, the 2024 Republican Presidential candidate and former South Carolina Governor, said that it is “really important,” that states be allowed to determine their own marijuana policy regardless of federal prohibition.
Haley’s cannabis position was briefly discussed in an interview published by WMUR-TV on Friday.
Haley said that if she were elected she would be a “states rights person.”
She said, “I believe that these decisions should be made at the state-level.” “It is where people can demonstrate their power of voice.” It’s up to the states whether they want to view it. “Some don’t wish to see it and this gives them the right to do so.”
We need to stay true to that,” she a href=”https://www.wmur.com/article/nikki-haley-cognitive-tests/marijuana/43919440″ rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>said. “We need to remain true to that,” she stated.
Haley, who served as the United Nations (UN), ambassador under President Donald Trump does not have a particularly extensive cannabis background. She did, however, sign a limited reform bill into law when she was governor. She’s also expressed an openness to further discussions with lawmakers and advocates about the issue.
She also showed sympathy for patients who had benefited from medical cannabis during her tenure as governor. She signed a law in 2014 allowing doctors to prescribe cannabidiol to patients with severe epilepsy who have failed to respond to conventional treatments.
Haley signed a bill in the same year to legalize hemp industrial in South Carolina, and to remove the non-intoxicating form from the definition of marijuana illegal by the state.
Her cannabis record appears to be light and this is the first interview she has given since announcing that she was running for office earlier in the year.
According to polls, the race for the GOP presidential nomination has become more crowded. However, the former president Donald Trump is still the frontrunner with a large margin.
