Article in L. A. Times this morning on Bernie and MJ
I know there have been comments on this issue already but this was in the LA Times this morning.
-snip-
The latest sign was the full-throated call last week by Sen. Bernie Sanders to end federal prohibition. With that one move, the candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination plunged into uncharted territory — and, arguably, so did the presidential race.
Never before has a contender with so much to lose so unequivocally suggested that smoking a joint should be viewed the same as drinking a beer, at least in the eyes of the law.
The move was about more than Sanders' signature straight talk. It could give the Vermont senator a much-needed boost in some primary states, especially in the West.
Some pollsters and strategists are surprised it has taken this long for a leading candidate to promote legalization this forcefully.

It was a good one.
One point I particularly enjoyed: the article stated that politicians are typically behind the curve on this sort of thing. They lag behind the public viewpoint.
Except for Bernie.
All I looked at was a Clippers article. 
I'll take a look for this...thanks for pointing it out.
