Bernie Sanders has voiced his approval for marijuana law reform in California.

Speaking at a campaign rally in San Jose, the Democratic presidential hopeful endorsed the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), the state’s leading initiative to legalize marijuana, the Sacramento Bee reports.

“I do not live in California,” the Vermont senator told supporters during his speech. “But if I lived in California, I would vote ‘yes’ to legalize marijuana.”

Sanders’ endorsement is consistent with statements made in other states that are currently discussing cannabis legalization, as well as his official policy to end federal prohibition and legalize both the recreational and medical use of marijuana.

Although it was initially unclear as to whether Sanders was simply supporting legalization or specifically endorsing the AUMA initiative, Los Angeles Times reporter Chris Megerian quoted Sanders as saying, “You’ve got a pretty good ballot initiative coming up in November.” AUMA is the only marijuana legalization measure currently approved for the November ballot.

Sanders’ opposition and Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton also supports cannabis law reform, although unlike Sanders, does not support federal legalization and has yet to publicly discuss the AUMA act.
