About time. If Hillary had the nuts to back this she may have been potus. Who knows.

The rest of the 2020 field has also been lining up being legalization.

HS kids can buy assault rifles, but grown ass adults can't chill with a bowl without threat of prison and job loss. WTF are we doing..

"The Minority Leader of the Senate is making it official the day before 4/20: He’s down with legal weed.

In an exclusive interview with VICE News, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) confirmed he is putting his name on legislation that he said is aimed at “decriminalizing” marijuana at the federal level.

For Schumer, this is a shift. While he has backed medical marijuana and the rights of states to experiment with legal sales of pot, what he is proposing is a seismic shift in federal drug policy .


“Ultimately, it’s the right thing to do. Freedom. If smoking marijuana doesn’t hurt anybody else, why shouldn’t we allow people to do it and not make it criminal?” Schumer said."
