      His supporters want cannabis legalization too. Doesn’t mean he’s gonna support it.

        Not entirely fair when he has essentially pushed for decriminalization and pardoned many people charged with bogus drug possession crimes in states that unfairly target minorities with drug crimes. I think he’s been pretty good short of broad legalization – but you can’t blame him when it’s still illegal in the majority of states.

        This is coming from a state with legal pot though, so I understand the frustration if you live in one of those backwards states that hasn’t gotten with the times. It’s important to remember how the Rs feel about recreational drugs before casting stones though (spoiler: they don’t like them).

          That’s ok. Us red state morlocks aren’t worth worrying about.
