Uncle Joe's 2020 pot problem

Former Vice President Joe Biden hasn’t officially entered the Democratic primary yet. But if he does, he’ll have a lot of explaining to do when it comes to actual policies rather than just talking up his ties to the Obama White House and claims of appeal to the Democratic base. And on marijuana, this is especially evident.

Among the Democrats who have already declared their candidacy and those likely to, Biden is a clear outlier. As the rest of his party clamors to support legalization of recreational marijuana, Biden still seems to be questioning medical marijuana.

Indeed, just last week Biden applauded medical marijuana opponent Bertha Madras as she criticized the medical applications of the drug. The other panelists at the University of Pennsylvania event kept their hands in their laps.

12. Joe's been at the bottom of my list...can't go any lower. Not the direction the Democratic Party

should be going.

9. No. But this thread should be in Democratic Primaries.

10. Not even an issue

"We are in a battle for the soul of this nation" says Joe Biden. If anyone can't see that, if anyone is so concerned about marijuana that they ignore all the important issues, we don't need that person's vote.

Joe Biden will win enough primaries to stay in the race to the end. Whether Democrats start listening to Joe this year is anyone's guess. But I predict by next year everyone will listen to him, and Chump will be shaking in his shoes.

13. Biden/Harris defeats Trump 60/40 IMHO.

14. Bullshit article, "Biden still seems ... " means we don't know ... some bullshit

[Generic Other]

15. Medical marijuana works

In legal states, kids who smoked weed when it was illegal are offering transdermal patches, edibles and oils to their aching arthritic parents. Guess what? The products work. We need way more research and development of pot as a safe alternative to opioids. Biden needs to re-think his stance.
