Hollywood celebrity news noted Alyssa wowed judges with her looks and poise, and didn’t bat an eyelash when asked the tough question on whether marijuana should be legalized. She answered “medical marijuana should be legal, but otherwise banned.”

Alyssa, who is closely followed by runner up, Miss Tennessee, Ashley Elizabeth Durham, will be representing the USA in the Miss Universe pageant in September.
