From the San Diego Union Tribune:
Democratic candidates for state attorney general yesterday took varying positions on the merits of legalizing marijuana, but agreed that medical marijuana needs to be much more heavily regulated than it is now.
Assemblyman Ted Lieu of Torrance said he opposes legalization. Assemblyman Alberto Torrico of Fremont and Chris Kelly, chief privacy officer for Facebook, said any discussion of legalization is premature until the medical marijuana industry is reined in. Assemblyman Pedro Nava of Santa Barbara said he is “agnostic” on the subject.
The four, along with Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn, a Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, spoke at a forum sponsored by the San Diego County Democratic Party, North County Democratic Unity, the Cal State San Marcos Democratic Club, the Escondido Democratic Club and the North County Young Democrats.
