A former Green Beret who advocates for limited government and individual liberty, the Republican freshman legislator from Culpeper directly addressed the question when asked by an attendee about the issue of legalizing medical marijuana even though it conflicts with federal law.

“Honestly, I like pissing off the federal government anytime I get a chance,” Freitas said at the event attended by about 40 people.
