I'm curious. Why aren't any of the candidates talking about...

[Callmecrazy]

Legalizing marijuana across the board? Think of all the single-issue voters we could bring to the polls; just to vote on that one thing. They might as well vote for the person who's gonna do it.
Have I missed something? Any candidates talking about it?
Trump promised a wall and Mexico would pay for it. His base ate it up.
"When I become President, I will decriminalize marijuana at the federal level." It's an issue that can cross party lines. Can it be done? I don't know, but we can sure try. Marijuana is finding favor among more and more voters every election. Democrat and Republican.

1. Cool with legalization, but not sure how many votes it would generate.

[JI7]

2. there are no such people. most if not all of the candidates

would be better on this issue.

if these people actually were single issue voters in this issue they would already know this and support one of the many candidates running.

if they aren't supporting any of the candidates then they don't care for this issue.

[JI7]

3. why don't these people care about things like abortion rights ?

or kids with health problems being deported ? or what happened to puerto Rico ?

12. Feel free to start another thread...

I'm talking about pot. Please stay on subject.

[JI7]

13. if they care about the issue they would be supporting candidates running

5. I hope they continue to ignore for now. Just will become a stupid wedge issue.

[Voltaire2]

8. It is a wedge issue for us to pry white male voters away from the gop.

9. I would not bar anyone who wants to join in the effort to oust Trump, a threat to this nation and

the world, on the basis of color or gender.

6. This would be great for the party. I think it would motivate a lot of people.

I think Bernie and Booker are for complete legalization of weed. Perhaps their supporters could clarify.

[Voltaire2]

7. The only front runner who isn't is Biden.

[Autumn]

11. They have been talking about it. They are all for it, except for Biden.

He thinks it should be a Schedule II drug and it should be up to the states.

[Autumn]

15. No I answered a question. I didn't dig Biden, I posted his stand on legalizing marijuana.

Do you have a problem with my posting the fact that he's the only top candidate that isn't all for legalizing? He, in fact, believes it's a gateway drug and wants to put it in the same class as morphine, opium, codeine, fentanyl, and hydrocodone. If you don't like being on a discussion board where people ... discuss things... why are bothering to respond to me? Do you think Biden can be "convinced", I assume you mean convinced to legalize pot? I don't if he hasn't come around at this stage in his life, as most others have, I doubt he will Did you know that Liz is for it?

16. ++ Facts on candidate positions are not "digs" - just facts, that's all
