2002 House Poll, States AL-IN
By State, Alphabetical, Alabama - Indiana
The following are the responses to our pre Nov. 5, 2002 national poll of the candidates running for the House of Representatives to the question: "Should smoked marijuana be a medical option now?"
[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.]
