Where the 2020 presidential candidates stand on marijuana legalization

sudshr47 February 20, 2019

If there’s one thing that united Democrats and Republicans in the Reagan era (besides their unfortunate fixation with perms), it was their near universal hatred of weed. Everybody was a cop back then. Walter Mondale, the Democratic candidate for president in 1984, called for another “War on Drugs” — all drugsRonald Reagan, for his part, believed that marijuana was “probably the most dangerous drug in the United States.”

sudshr47 February 13, 2019

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continues to be chill as hell.

In an interview with TMZ on Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez shared some of her thoughts on cannabis legalization, proving she’s extremely open-minded on the topic.

“There are plenty of people who drink, they’ll go out to happy hour … how is that different from anything else?” Ocasio-Cortez questioned.

Her comments come after several politicians running for president — such as Kamala Harris — shared positions on marijuana legalization, along with past experiences. Read more…

OK, everybody: Stop pot-shaming Elon Musk

sudshr47 September 7, 2018

The man happened to be Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX. The joint — technically a spliff or blunt, as it was marijuana mixed with tobacco — happened to be proffered by comedian and wrestling commentator Joe Rogan, who was streaming his show live from the state of California. “It’s legal, right?” asked Musk as he took Rogan up on his offer.

Cynthia Nixon adds $4.20 donation button (for weeeeed.)

There is nothing Twitter progressives love more than a quality pro-weed troll coming from an older politician.

“We have to stop putting people of color in jail for something that white people do with impunity,” Nixon says in the video. “Eighty percent of the New Yorkers who are arrested for marijuana are black or Latino, despite the fact that whites and people of color use marijuana at roughly the same rates.” Read more…
