There is no legitimate reason, unless you have stock in private prisons or enjoy the racist imprisonment of your fellow citizens, or simply lick those jackboots for pleasure, to be opposed to the legalization of cannabis.

Obviously, Joe is running to be the president of even the inbred knuckle-dragging tea partiers who want to keep it illegal; I thought we were more progressive than that around here, but it's a big tent.

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

So you ARE SAYING that Joe Biden is NOT an adult, right? Eliot Rosewater Nov 2019 #32

I believe it is childish and uninformed to SAY that marijuana is a gateway drug. Ferrets are Cool Nov 2019 #52

It shows you how out of touch Biden is LeftTurn3623 Nov 2019 #6

All the excessive focus on pot legalization on DU shows how out of touch some Dems are. beastie boy Nov 2019 #13

Such a substantive rejoinder. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2019 #19

Whyyour constant need to keep banging on this issue when Biden is farther left than any president Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #22

As long as it remains illegal at the federal level... Act_of_Reparation Nov 2019 #55

No, what he said was that it "might be" a gateway drug, which is in line with the best science. The Valley Below Nov 2019 #30

That is a LOT different than "he said it was a gateway drug"! Thanks. George II Nov 2019 #37

Correct. Unfortunately the science does seem to suggest the likelihood that such is the case. The Valley Below Nov 2019 #38

Which is exactly why you need to be 21 to legally use it Calculating Nov 2019 #86

My point is that when CA voted to legalize recreational pot we were were promised... The Valley Below Nov 2019 #90

No he didn't. Just when/how DID he say marijuana is a gateway drug? George II Nov 2019 #36

Viewing marijuana as a gateway drug was in vogue during the same time phonographs were in use. jalan48 Nov 2019 #79

I agreed with this argument forty years ago and still do. pecosbob Nov 2019 #8

Agreed BigOleDummy Nov 2019 #12

Here's Joe Biden's OFFICIAL stance on marijuana and is very progressive Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #16

Interesting, I don't see anywhere that Biden said marijuana is a gateway drug. George II Nov 2019 #43

His sentiiment does not align with that policy loyalsister Nov 2019 #46

I really like Kamala Harris. She's sharp. She'd make a great President. KPN Nov 2019 #23

Perhaps Warren's or Sanders' VP but I don't care for her being Biden's VP - still too adversarial. Skya Rhen Nov 2019 #25

And this is why.... LovingA2andMI Nov 2019 #26

Thank you Sen. Harris for taking a sane position regarding marijuana! Devil Child Nov 2019 #53

She's right. And I'm glad Biden clarified his position. Politicub Nov 2019 #56

I like her stance more. egduj Nov 2019 #65

Why is this so difficult for Biden to be a leader like Kamala Harris. aikoaiko Nov 2019 #67

How is Harris a leader on this issue? She put people away for marijuana use. The Valley Below Nov 2019 #71

The whole concept of a gateway drug is dubious. aikoaiko Nov 2019 #72

Not at all. The scientific evidence suggests that it is a gateway drug. The Valley Below Nov 2019 #73

No Calculating Nov 2019 #88

No. It seems THC use--especially my teens--alters brain development and lowers dopamine levels. The Valley Below Nov 2019 #93
