Pot should probably be legal for people 21 and older but it’s really harmful to kids, as is alcohol.

But I am not voting for Ben Jealous regardless of his views on weed. My Takoma Park neighbors would be shocked, I’m sure.

This makes me not want to vote for him. Which I'm not.

I don't care either way. Like alcohol, I avoid pot.

how come other countries have legal pot and it doesn't seem to be turning their youth into degenerates?

And yet keeping it illegal did nothing to protect him.

I used to support legalizing. But now that it’s legal in DC I think it’s awful. I can’t take my kids anywhere without smelling weed. And I know for a fact that we’re breathing it in secondhand quite often. It’s particularly bad around the DC rec center that we spend time at.

This, 100%. I don’t understand how people can treat this issue so casually.

Even the Washington Post endorsed Hogan (not that I put a lot of stock in that), but for them to endorse a Republican, that says a lot.

This one issue of pot is not going to change my mind. You have to look at all of the issues- not just one.

I was a solid vote for Hogan but I think I am changing my mind.


Just need a million more people to care about this incredibly important issue!

Is there any chance this will happen if he's elected? and

Why isnt Hogan pushing to legalize pot?

I do not dislike Hogan but this stance alone may swing my vote to Jealous. What are you guys thinking about this?
