Quote : “ I have supported [cannabis legalization] for a long time throughout my campaign for a number of reasons. One is because of the effect of criminalizing marijuana on the prison population — the disadvantage that it puts people at. It has a disproportionate effect on minorities. I also have read a number of studies that have made it clear that legalization of marijuana has a beneficial effect on the rate of opioid addiction. Finally, I think that it’s very important for veterans. In Pennsylvania, even though the state has authorized the use of medical marijuana, it can’t be used in veterans’ hospitals because of the federal schedule. So all of these together, I think just really make a compelling case.” (2018)

Bernie Sanders petition to end the War on Drugs, which in part reads: “ Some 1.5 million people were arrested for a drug related offense in 2016 – over 80 percent of which were for possession alone.

We need to stop criminalizing recreational marijuana use… African Americans are four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana even though marijuana usage rates are basically the same across racial lines.” (2018)
