How Would the Marijuana Industry Look If Bernie Sanders Was President

 

Bernie Sanders, the long-lasting Vermont senator, and current presidential candidate, has been called numerous things in his profession, including a communist, keeping in mind he has endeavored to push back against that name by supporting for what he calls a democratic socialist. The term still inspires pictures of ’70s school sit-ins and bongs. Albeit nobody can know for certain what Sanders would do if he somehow managed to win the election, his late remarks and activities show that he could turn into the biggest marijuana-reform president ever.

In the wake of conveying critical political wins in Alaska and Oregon in 2014, the weed industry is getting steam in front of the 2016 races. A cannabis bill could be on the poll in ten states in November. California is the greatest state that could take up the issue this fall. However, voters could likewise turn weed laws on their ear in other eminent states including Nevada, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Florida (where medical cannabis laws will probably be on the plan).

The chance for achievement in those states might be better than anyone might have expected on the grounds that the larger part of Americans have favored the idea of weed sanctioning for three back to back years, Gallup reports. In October, 58% of respondents to Gallup’s survey said cannabis ought to be lawful, up from only 23% in the mid-’80s, and that ties for the biggest rate in support yet.

Given developing backing among typical Americans, soft support from a future president could push the ball over the objective line and introduce a period in which pot is made, sold, and taxed like liquor and tobacco. Sanders’ home condition of Vermont could soon join the positions of states with master cannabis laws on the books. The state’s laws require that lawful pot enactment experiences lawmaking body, as opposed to voters, and its state government is as of now considering a pot proposal that industry watchers think will pass.
