White House: "Marijuana should remain illegal"

76. She is not in favor of legalization. She's OK w/medical MJ.

Somehow, the standard bearer of modern progressivism is on the record opposing “outright” legalization. And though this issue hasn’t gathered a consensus in either party, it is gaining momentum even among conservatives.

Warren’s stance came back into public consciousness last week when she made a joke at a St. Patrick’s Day breakfast about a pro-legalization Republican who is also anti-gun control, saying he wanted the state “armed and stoned.”

But opponents pounced on the lighthearted remark, pointing out that Candidate Warren gave a one-word answer (“no”) about marijuana legalization in an interview before the election, not even suggesting that it might be regulated.

Liberal media sources focus instead on Warren’s support of medical marijuana legislation, like the ballot initiative her state passed last fall. Warren cites her father’s battle with cancer influencing that opinion.

I think she's a bit out of step with her own constituency on this issue. It doesn't get too much play because it has basically been decriminalized in MA--a small fine if one is caught with reasonable amounts.
