TYT: Bernie Sanders Introduces Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act



Bernie Sanders wants to legalize marijuana. He recently introduced the “Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act,” to legalize recreational marijuana. Is he a fringe quack? Or is corporate media and government behind the majority of Americans on this? Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Bernie Sanders, the only Democratic Socialist running for president in 2016 , just introduced a bill in the US Senate that would end the US prohibition on marijuana, following through on the promise he made to college students last week to take steps to legalize pot at the federal level.

Throwing his weight behind marijuana legalization might turn out to be a smart move for Sanders, and Independent Senator from Vermont, in the lead-up to the first Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire. According to a poll released by Gallup last month, 58 percent of Americans support legalization—including seven in 10 young adults.”*
