Senate Hopeful Gary Chambers Vows To Change Marijuana Laws Across U.S.
Newsy
Many lawmakers and candidates in the upcoming midterm elections are pushing to decriminalize weed, even in states where it's not on the ballot.
Gary Chambers is "shattering" the perception of marijuana in his own way, as he's believed to be the first political candidate to smoke marijuana in a campaign TV ad. He says the feat means "we've got a long way to go."
"People drink on political campaigns every day," Chambers said. "Nobody ever says a word. Shouldn't be controversial. People smoke every day."
It's part of his social justice campaign to win over voters in his bid for the U.S. Senate seat from Louisiana, where he vows to pass a federal law making marijuana legal across the country to make sure there are no more stories like that of now 56-year-old Bernard Noble.
