2002 Poll of US Senate
By State

ProCon.org began this national poll of the Nov. '02 U.S. Senate candidates and their response to the question "Should smoked marijuana be a medical option now?" After Nov. 5, 2002 we began adding Senators in office who were not up for re-election on Nov. 5, 2002.

Alphabetical by State

[Note: We have incorporated into our responses the recent results of effectively the same question from Wisconsin NORML and the Drug Policy Alliance polls, and some results from third parties representing the candidates' views on the question.]
