Bernie Sanders talks pot legalization, spirituality on 'Jimmy Kimmel'

(snip)
“We have large numbers of lives that have been destroyed because of this war on drugs and because people were caught smoking marijuana and so forth,” Sanders told host Jimmy Kimmel.

“I think we have got to end the war on drugs,” he said. “I am not unfavorably disposed to moving toward the legalization of marijuana.” Sanders said.

This position is only likely to bolster his already strong support among young voters, and perhaps give added meaning to his slogan “Feel the Bern.”

(snip)
“I am who I am,” Sanders said. “And what I believe in, and what my spirituality is about, is that we’re all in this together. But I think that it is not a good thing to believe that as human beings we can turn our backs on the suffering of other people.
