legal cannabis is also the fastest growing industry in our country, employing hundreds of thousands and growing exponentially

Biden really seems to have a backwards view on this issue, especially for a Democrat

I hope he announces that he has changed his mind about this

Does he even support banking reform that would allow cannabis businesses to work with financial institutions without fear of prosecution? Legislation is currently working its way through congress and has been endorsed publicly by 38 state attorneys general.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
