Former Vice President Joe Biden Says He Won't Push to Legalize Marijuana, Says It May Be 'Gateway Drug'
Joe Biden raised eyebrows over the weekend when he said he wont look to legalize marijuana nationwide if elected president because it may be a gateway drug that first requires more research.
The Democratic presidential candidate and former vice president claimed during a Las Vegas town hall there hasnt been enough evidence to show whether or not marijuana is a gateway drug a term used to describe habit drugs that lead users to harder illegal substances, like heroin or cocaine. Research by the National Institute on Drug Abuse shows, however, that most marijuana users dont go on to use harder substances.

Yeah, but what does he think of that whole Rock and Roll thing that’s corrupting our youth. Does he think it’s here to say?

This position will help him in the Dem primary. It reinforces his position as a centrist. 85% of the country doesn’t smoke pot, and though that percentage is probably considerably lower among Democrats, Biden’s lane is mainly moderate/elderly/black and would tend to be supportive of Biden’s position. The stoners are mainly going to line up behind Bernie or Liz.

Part of me wants to agree with you but the other part of me sees elephants dancing on the lawn.
