Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Twitchy.com: “Another flip-flop? Joe Biden clarifies that no one should be in jail for marijuana use”. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Pretty much all of the Democratic candidates are for legalizing marijuana. But what about old Uncle Joe Biden? The Hill reported Sunday that Biden had told attendees at a town hall in Las Vegas Saturday that “whether the U.S. should legalize cannabis on a federal level is still up for debate as far as he is concerned.”

“The truth of the matter is, there’s not nearly been enough evidence that has been acquired as to whether or not it is a gateway drug,” Biden said, according to Business Insider. “It’s a debate, and I want a lot more before I legalize it nationally. I want to make sure we know a lot more about the science behind it.”
Biden, as he has throughout his time on the campaign trail, said he supports medical marijuana and insisted possession of the substance “should not be a crime.”
But he also said Saturday that he thinks the decision to legalize marijuana should be left up to individual states.

Is anyone under 50 even supporting this guy? Out of touch doesn’t even begin to describe this guy.

Gateway to what? Reduced anxiety and less stress? Yeah, let’s all avoid that. In fact, just make that illegal too. ????
Btw, you really have your finger on the pulse of the people. What’s next? Prohibition? pic.twitter.com/L6U9sQmhFP

Jesus Christ Boomer….. Marijuana is a gateway drug, like CocaCola is a gateway to coke. Enough out of you old man. I'd guess 70% have either sampled or still smoke weed & are doing just fine. It's as common as cigars. Or a glass of whiskey or wine. One is just enough..

That sound you hear is all the millennials dropping out of his campaign. Does the Democratic Party give consolation gifts for also-rans in primary campaigns?

Is this the definition of “ok boomer”? ????????

I’m convinced his campaign is a social experiment to see how fast he can go from a moderately popular politician to 0% support

Actually, he said he wanted more debate and research first, wants to decriminalize possession, and wanted states to be allowed to legalize it themselves, but you do you, Hill headline writer.

Absolutely garbage candidate

This dude is going to lose to Trump so hard, and blue checkmarks will still find a way to blame the left for it.

Former prosecutor Kamala Harris supports legalizing weed because it’s fueled America’s mass-incarceration system https://t.co/BZh65NNL2V
