Anyone know the other side's position on marijuana?

[Rebkeh]

It's another intersectional issue that needs attention. I know Bernie wants to take marijuana off of the schedule one list/classification.

1. I think many of them are still in "Reefer Madness" mode.

[Rebkeh]

3. Even the dems? Nt

9. Yes-just look at Hillary's position on marijuana.

She still opposes legalization. She's very ill-informed on the issue.

[Rebkeh]

11. okay, so thats...

disappointing. Not surprising, but disappointing.

[LiberalArkie]

2. I would guess that if it could be the same as tobacco legally, then everyone

would be ok as long as tobacco or some other big corp was in charge.

[JackInGreen]

4. Last I heard

Hills ambivalent but wants "more research", upside : she considers currently legal states laboratories for the idea.

And I believe she'll keep her position not at fucking all.

[Rebkeh]

6. Ah. Okay, thanks... In other words,

Playing it safe with non answers, having it both ways in case of a cya crisis.

On edit: I prefer Bernie's leadership on this.

[JackInGreen]

8. Likewise

Trust me.

[AgerolanAmerican]

13. Hillary's position is

whatever you want it to be, if your "donation" is sufficient

[surrealAmerican]

18. I'm pretty sure "more research" means ...

... "let's not change anything".

At best, it's just a way to avoid making a decision.

5. Their position is:

Marijuana helps to fund for profit prisons. I know Hillary has recently rejected for profit prison money, but she and her husband made a lot of money from for profit prisons... So she still owes them.

[immoderate]

7. Hillary instinctively tends to go for 'reactionary.'

I think she is supporting a move to Sched. 2. She is, after all, incremental.

10. In reality thousands of lives and families have been disrupted thanks to Bill

The very same private prison corporations seem to think Hillary is worth their investment.
You will not hear a word of de-criminalizing pot from Hillary.

[greymouse]

12. Hillary wants it in the same schedule as cocaine.

[AgerolanAmerican]

14. Me too

but in the sense that both should be 100% legal

as long as alcohol is legal there's no excuse for either pot or cocaine to be illegal

alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs in existence and it's not even close

[greymouse]

20. right

I wish the government would get its nanny state hands off people's medical lives.

[Umbral18]

15. They're cool with it, as long as you don't inhale! nt

[RashaMZak]

16. Watch her go Nixon on it to punish all those damn filthy hippies who stood in her way.

[Lone_Wolf]

17. It probably depends on the audience she's in front of

n/t

19. Hillary thinks it needs more study.

No joke, one of the most studied plants on earth, needs more study.

I think the Democratic Party needs to do a little more study on Hillary Clinton. Is this the person they want to hang their hat on?
