After Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg took a bold stance to legalize marijuana. On February 2, a Marijuana Moment article discussed how Buttigieg mentioned that he has a “Plan B” for marijuana legalization, which involves using Air Force One. “Plan A” includes convincing both the parties to legalize cannabis. Buttigieg thinks that he can convince congressional lawmakers.

However, at a campaign event in Iowa last week, he stated that if “Plan A” fails, then he would use Air Force One and fly around the country and visit lawmakers’ hometowns to convince voters to push for legalization. He said, “I have a different use in mind for that aircraft, and it’s to fly it directly into the home district of a member who is standing in the way—not just of me, but of his own voters and have a conversation with the voters about why this needs to happen.”
