Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli: View Of Marijuana Legalization "Evolving"

Via Reason:

“I’m not sure about Virginia’s future [in terms of marijuana legalization],” the newspaper quoted Cuccinelli saying. “But I and a lot of people are watching Colorado and Washington to see how it plays out.” Cuccinelli’s marijuana comments surprised U.Va. political science professor Larry Sabato, whose class Cuccinelli address. 

Sabato noted “Cuccinelli stressed he wouldn’t be recommending changes anytime soon. But he praised states such as Colorado for experimenting with marihuana legalization, saying this was federalism in action. He said twice his views were ‘evolving” on the subject.” 

“The students were as surprised as I was,” Sabato added, observing that based on their reactions “his views made him more appealing to them.”
