Marijuana

Meadows filibustered and voted against a bill that legalized medical marijuana usage in Alabama.[1] Meadows and a small group of other legislators spoke for nine hours in opposition to the bill–no attempt was made to cloture the members. In her speech, Meadows brought up the death of Rod Bramblett, who was killed in a car accident by a teenager who was under the influence.[2]
