    Published a platform plank under the heading "6. Personal Freedoms" on his campaign site reading, in full: "Support decriminalizing small amounts of cannabis to reduce jail costs and redirect police focus, while studying legalization’s impacts."

The wording is unchanged in every later capture and on the live site as of 2026-09-18.
