I agree that Biden has to be specific. Vague promises are not enough. Which is why I can't support Bernie. I also think Bernie may not survive the general. Come on Joe-marijuana reform, health care, jobs, climate control. It is just simple math, all the cost for the effects are going to cripple us. Want to cut od rates? Legalize pot. Want to cut incarceration rates? Legalize pot. Would you like to promote health choices for elders pain management? Legalize pot. This bullshit of saying climate control/green is too expensive is just that-BS!!
What are the costs for OD rates?? What is the cost to prosecute and jail pot users/home growers?? What is the cost to the health care system for continued disease and trauma caused by environmental factors??

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