The Arizona Secretary of State’s office has published the pro and con arguments for the ballot measures voters will decide this November and, even though it’s the subject of a pending lawsuit, that includes the Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act.
We’ll bring you two arguments today, one in favor and one against, starting with Sarah Mayhew. She’s a public defender for the Pima County Public Defenders’ Office, and a member of the Arizona Association for Criminal Justice. She wrote in favor of the measure.
Ed Gogek does not support the Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act . He’s an addiction psychiatrist and consults with substance abuse treatment programs. He’s also written a book outlining the case against legalizing marijuana.
