WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, a longtime proponent of legalized marijuana, promised on Thursday that in his first 100 days in the White House he would issue an executive order directing the drug be removed from the list of controlled federal substances.
“We’re going to legalize marijuana and end the horrifically destructive war on drugs,” Sanders said in a statement released with his plan. “It has disproportionately targeted people of color and ruined the lives of millions of Americans.” During his losing 2016 White House bid, Sanders became the first high-profile presidential candidate to support legalizing marijuana. The plan released on Thursday fleshed out some of the details of his approach.
