The draft platform currently calls to decriminalize and reschedule cannabis, and offer expungement for prior convictions. But ultimately the goal is to allow the states to set their own individual laws around cannabis.
However, an amendment to fully legalize cannabis was voted down and rejected.
The party officially will not endorse full legalization on the national level.

Heather Fazio, the director of Texans for Responsible Marijuana Policy noted that in an unprecedented economic downturn, alternatives must be considered.
