Boucher Speaks Out Against Decriminalized Marijuana

State Senator Toni Boucher (R-26) took to the floor in Hartford on Tuesday to voice her opposition of Senate Bill 1014 — An Act Concerning The Penalty For Certain Nonviolent Drug Offenses — namely, the decriminalization of marijuana.

"It's so much more expensive to fix a problem after it's created than to prevent the problem in the first place," Boucher said. "Just look at tobacco, and all the costs to government due to heavy tobacco smoking."
