  3. Legalization has suddenly become a sticky issue in the 2016 election. • Marijuana legalization is a tricky subject: Nearly half of Americans have tried marijuana, and a growing percentage supports legalization, according to the Pew Research Center. So where does the crop of 2016 presidential candidates stand on the marijuana issue? https://marijuanamtvernonwa.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/marijuana-politics/

  5. Hilary ClintonClinton has kept questions about legalization at arm’s length and has so far refused to take a strong position. Her campaign has refused a donation from the National Cannabis Industry. • She has expressed limited support for medical marijuana, telling a CNN town hall event “I think for people who are in extreme medical conditions and have anecdotal evidence that it works, there should be availability under appropriate circumstances.” https://marijuanamtvernonwa.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/marijuana-politics/

  7. Bernie SandersSelf-declared socialist and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders supports marijuana decriminalization and the use of medical marijuana. Sanders believes that possession of small amounts of cannabis should become a civil, not a criminal offense, subject merely to a fine. https://marijuanamtvernonwa.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/marijuana-politics/

  9. Donald TrumpThe GOP front-runner’s position has changed over the years. In 1990, he was quoted in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune as saying that US drug enforcement efforts were “a joke” and that drugs should be legalized to “take the profit away from these drug czars.” Fast-forward 25 years and now Trump is opposed to legalization. “I say it’s bad,” he told the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference in June, in response to a question about Colorado’s legal weed. “Medical marijuana is another thing, but I think [recreational marijuana] it’s bad. And I feel strongly about that.” But what about states’ rights? “If they vote for it, they vote for it. But they’ve got a lot of problems going on right now, in Colorado. Some big problems. But I think medical marijuana, 100 percent.” https://marijuanamtvernonwa.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/marijuana-politics/

  11. Dr. Ben CarsonCarson has said he’s a fan of the war on drugs, and he told the Blaze he would “intensify it.” He also supports medical marijuana “in compassionate cases.” At a June campaign event in Colorado, he noted that “regular exposure to marijuana in the developing brain has been proven to result in a decreased IQ. The last thing we need is a bunch of people running around with decreased IQ.” Therefore, he says, he’d enforce federal drug laws in which the use of marijuana is considered a crime. https://marijuanamtvernonwa.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/marijuana-politics/
