Bling 31,683 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Welp, it's likely there goes his chances for 2020 if the heart attack didn't. I say this as an avid pot-smoker. From a political PR standpoint, unfortunately, the majority of voters will not back a candidate that's for legalization of MJ (thank God it's legal here in Oregon) Our country is way too conservative as whole for this to pass (right now) Trust me, I'm all for it but really doubt this will fly. Also his recent heart attack doesn't spread a strong health image, one which majority of voters want in a presidential candidate. Suffice to say, I love 420 and am between voting for Sanders/Warren, but I doubt our country will vote for something like this.

HorusRa2 5,005 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 1 hour ago, Marilyn MonHoe said: Biden is not for legalization: Reveal hidden contents Biden gets one thing right: we do need more research surrounding pain management. However, his refusal to acknowledge the viability of cannabis as a possible treatment exposes his basic misunderstanding of both marijuana and the drugs currently used to manage pain. Though extensive research is necessary to determine the efficacy of marijuana for specific maladies, there is little doubt that it has tremendous potential for reducing the U.S.’s ongoing opioid epidemic, among other things. Considering the existing scientific evidence, Biden’s perspective that marijuana is somehow “inhumane,” and thus not to even be considered as a treatment for pain, is simply illogical. His opinion stems more from prejudice against cannabis (and the people who use it) than from science. Biden receives a “D” grade for his views on cannabis because he both fails to recognize or acknowledge its medicinal uses and because he is the only prominent Democratic Party presidential candidate who does not support cannabis legalization. The only thing Biden has going for him is a stated desire for criminal justice reform, which saves him from a failing grade. https://www.cannalawblog.com/grading-the-democratic-presidential-candidates-on-marijuana-joe-biden/ Warren is for legalization but this is a position she only reached recently: Reveal hidden contents This past April, Senator Elizabeth Warren clearly vocalized her support for cannabis legalization at a CNN town hall. On social media, Warren has also come out strongly in support of legalization. Warren’s website, however, does not specifically advocate for legalization but rather for “rewriting our laws to decriminalize marijuana.” It is unclear whether this is an important distinction in Warren’s platform as a presidential candidate. History with marijuana legislation: Warren’s stance on marijuana has evolved over the course of her senate career. In 2011 during her first campaign for Senate, Warren expressed openness to legalizing medical marijuana but opposed legalization in general. At the CNN town hall this past April, Warren declared that she had supported Massachusetts’ ballot initiative to legalize marijuana back in 2012. In reality, Warren was hesitant to offer her support for the ballot initiative, vacillating between silence and tentative approval. In a 2018 interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Warren also exaggerated her support for Massachusetts’ 2016 ballot initiative to legalize marijuana; she said she had endorsed it, but her only statement about the initiative was that she was “open to the possibility of legalizing marijuana.” In 2018, however, Warren pushed for marijuana reform through both her rhetoric and legislative action. In 2018, she co-wrote a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to reinstate the Cole memo. Later that year, she co-sponsored the STATES Act, a bi-partisan bill which, if passed, would amend the Controlled Substances Act to allow States to “implement their own marijuana laws without federal interference.” She also co-sponsored the Marijuana Justice Act (which would legalize marijuana if passed) as well as multiple other marijuana reform bills. Warren became a vocal advocate of legalization just a year before announcing her intention to run for president in December of 2018. Considering that the majority of Americans support legalization, this shift in Warren’s platform was most definitely a deliberate move as Warren geared up for her presidential campaign. Warren receives a “B+” grade on cannabis. She obviously wants to come across as a long-time advocate for marijuana reform. Despite her claims, however, Warren did not consistently support legalization of marijuana before 2016. Additionally, the statement on Warren’s website regarding marijuana calls for decriminalization, rather than legalization, even though Warren herself has called for legalization. Fortunately, Warren’s recent legislative action surrounding marijuana is promising, indicating Warren would likely reform marijuana laws if elected President. https://www.cannalawblog.com/grading-the-democratic-presidential-candidates-on-marijuana-elizabeth-warren/ Bernie has been pro marijuana legalization the longest out of any democratic nominee: Reveal hidden contents Over the course of his career, the Vermont senator has maintained a pro-legalization stance. As a House representative in the 1990s, when it was uncommon to do so, Sanders co-sponsored and signed a multitude of bills to legalize marijuana, to reschedule the drug, and to protect states that legalized cannabis for medicinal use. As a senator, Sanders has continued to sponsor pro-legalization bills, the most recent being the Marijuana Justice Act of 2019, which focuses on legalization as a method of criminal justice reform, and the Secure And Fair Enforcement Banking Act of 2019, which would protect banks that serve cannabis businesses. Sanders receives an “A” grade based on his nearly flawless support for cannabis for the last 20 years. His record of pro-legalization legislation is remarkable and cannabis legalization is a central part of his platform as a presidential candidate. Though Sanders supported a couple bills early in his career that were inconsistent with his criminal justice platform, his two decades of pro-legalization legislation and rhetoric demonstrate his dedication to cannabis legalization and convince us that a Sanders presidency will be great for cannabis. https://www.cannalawblog.com/https-www-cannalawblog-com-grading-the-democratic-presidential-candidates-on-marijuana-bernie-sanders/ Hello somebody! Come through with the receipts! Can I just say this issue is symbolic of the 3 in the primary? Biden has it mostly wrong.
