How this score is worked out
Only recorded votes and bill authorships count, and only on bills whose effect has been set out in advance. Statements and questionnaire answers are shown on this page but do not move the number. Each act counts as −2 to +2 toward legal access, weighted by the kind of act and by how recent it is; the average is rescaled so 0 is the most restrictive record and 100 the most expansive.

Campaign platform carries a section headed "End War on Drugs" reading "Legalize marijuana and end the failed drug war", and states: "I will work to repeal all of America’s drug laws, starting with those against marijuana. It must be taken off the schedule of controlled substances immediately." It also states: "Adults must be allowed to put any substances in their bodies that they choose", carries the bullet "Remove marijuana from controlled substances schedule immediately", and describes him as having "Opposed the War on Drugs for over 50 years". THE PAGE CARRIES NO DATE and the Internet Archive holds no capture containing this text, so 2026-09-19 is the date the page was read, not a publication date.
