Related: About this forumPoll: Joe Biden clip on criminal justice
There is probably a good segment of voters who would vote for Joe if he has evolved on this issue, but there's not a lot of evidence that he has. He needs to get out in front of this issue or Sanders, Warren, pretty much the rest of the Democratic Primary candidates will hammer him on it.
Does Joe Biden need to show he's evolved on drug policy to get your vote?

(16,448 posts)I have a great deal of respect and warm feelings for Biden. He is a fundamentally decent man, who I think wants to do right by the country and its people. His loyalty to President Obama and his compassion which we have all seen many times makes me happy. Hes a true mensch.
That said, I think its time for him to join the rest of the field and more than 70 percent of Americans who think it should be off schedule I, taxed and sold legally. Politically, this would hurt him with no one, and whats more its the right thing to do.

(62,683 posts)I'm in WA, I don't even use it, but I sure supported the legalization and was proud of my State being one of the first. So many are coming on board -- when AZ gets a whiff of potential revenue, I think it may change for you. It's always about the money -- or to quote Omar, it's the Benjamins, baby.

(1,990 posts)that they wont interfere with cannabis legal states
recent polls are showing that a majority of Republicans now support legalization
Biden needs to get in front of this
younger voters are overwhelmingly pro-legalization

(3,765 posts)Sen. Cory Gardner said Thursday that President Donald Trump told him hed sign legislation to ensure states can decide for themselves whether to legalize marijuana, but that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell needs some more convincing.

(1,990 posts)goes at least that far
unfortunately, Biden doesn't seem to be it
we cannot expect legal states to turn back the clock and go back to 1980s drug war policies (which have failed)
the people of my state (and others) have spoken on this issue. that should be respected
especially be Democratic candidates
