all you got? You created the construct that I was for imprisonment of Marijuana users. I am not advocating that. I would sacrifice something I love for the benefit of all my fellow citizens.

1. Biden is not for federal legalization of marijuana until more research is done.
2. To conduct marijuana research you would have to change it from a schedule one drug to like a schedule two or three (potential human benefit to research). He would have to move it to allow point and promise 1.
3. Biden is for states making their choices

Please get back throwing Spaghetti at the wall like a child and see if something sticks.

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