You are flat wrong. Here is a link to what you’re referring. I challenge you to find the words “I believe in legalizing drugs” in her answer. You’re clearly misstating her position. All she said was that if she was governor the policy of drug enforcement would be discussed.
And really, what is the problem with discussing it? The current drug war has been far from effective. Drugs are available everywhere. That’s a fact. Clearly something needs to be changed if we’re going to pour so much money into fighting the drug war.
Even if she was for legalization, that’s about the only thing that I could find that I might disagree with her on, and like I said above, I’ll vote for the person that I agree with 80% of the time (Medina), rather than the 2 RINOs.
Here’s the link you’re referring to. Watch it again.

Although she doesn't articulate she is for legalization, her comments infer very clearly that she is.
It is fairly obvious. As I stated upthread, Texas had a hard time voting for parimutuel betting (with a huge, wealthy lobby behind it) and the lottery. If casinos ever come to this state, I will faint.
I am interested in logistics. (my personal feelings aside)Do you honestly believe Texas would consider voting for a gubernatorial candidate that even entertains the idea of “discussion” of drug legalization?
Or would you prefer a Dem governor? As I have also previously stated, I need to research some of her other opinions before I jump on board.
