Thomas said allowing Alabamians to keep more money in their pockets will mean more money will be spent and more businesses will see success. He said he has an economic plan to replace some revenue from cutting taxes. That plan includes expanding hemp cultivation, adding bamboo, and legalizing and decriminalizing cannabis.
“The propaganda that people have relied on for decades has proven to be false,” said Thomas. “Quite frankly, it seems absurd to me that a room full of people are going to decide that Americans can’t take a seed, plant it in the ground, and grow a plant, no processing whatsoever required, and yet it’s illegal. And yet we’ve got an opioid epidemic from coast to coast using pharmaceuticals that are legal.”
While admitting that he smokes pot himself, Thomas said he knows firsthand how beneficial the plant can be. He said he has been at odds with people in his own family because of the bad reputation marijuana has.
“We’ve had this discussion for many, many years in my family,” said Thomas. “Honestly, it’s been a point of contention in my family, mainly because of the illegality of it.”
Thomas said his life is proof that people can be successful while using cannabis.
“Whether it’s cannabis, or a vaccine, or alcohol, if you want it, knock yourself out,” said Thomas. “If you don’t, don’t. But don’t sit there and tell somebody, a grown adult, what they can and can’t do with their health, with their own personal lives.”
When it comes to a lottery or gambling, Thomas said he would support a bill that didn’t include the “good ole boy” system.
