Presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders, took to his Twitter to share his views on marijuana legislation.
The Democratic Senator from Vermont wrote, “We must legalize marijuana nationally, expunge past marijuana convictions and ensure revenue from legal marijuana is reinvested in the communities most impacted by the failed War on Drugs.”
Sanders has said that he would make sure that revenue from legal marijuana is reinvested in communities that are hit hardest by the war on drugs.
Sanders has been very outspoken about his support for marijuana legislation and it was in 2015 that he filed the first Senate bill to legalize marijuana on a federal level.
“When Bernie is president, we will finally make the deep and structural investments to rebuild the communities that mass incarceration continues to decimate,” his campaign website states.
