Elizabeth Warren – U.S. senator and democratic darling – said that she has changed her mind about marijuana legalization.
Warren reportedly told Joshua Miller, a writer at The Boston Globe, that she is now in support of and even open to ballots seeking to legalize marijuana.
Miller asked, “you were opposed to legalization in 2012. As a Massachusetts voter, what’s your position today?”
“I’m open to it,” Warren replied. “I think we’ve learned more. A couple of states have legalized marijuana for recreational use. Frankly, I think we ought to be learning what we can from those states.”
She also stated that she is a in support of cannabis research and has been urging the Federal Government to “step up its game.”
The Massachusetts attorney general voted in support of a ballot calling for the legalization of recreational marijuana this week. In order to secure a spot on the 2016 ballot, those that sponsor this need to accumulate almost 65,000 signatures by November 28.
