Bernie Sanders plans to Legalize Cannabis for all Citizens of the USA!
- Bernie Sanders releases a plan to legalize marijuana nationwide, expunge certain marijuana convictions and invest in grants to boost communities disproportionately affected by current drug laws.
- The plan comes before the Friday start of a three-day criminal justice forum at historically black Benedict College, where Sanders, several of his 2020 Democratic presidential primary rivals and President Donald Trump will speak.
- Sanders also says he wants to take steps to ensure the legal marijuana industry does not come to resemble Big Tobacco, and his plan would bar tobacco companies from getting into the weed business.
