RUSH EXCERPT:
SANDERS: “Look, you’re right, we have a criminal justice system today that is not only broken, it is racist, got more people in jail than any other country on Earth including China. One of the reasons for that is an horrific war on drugs. So I do believe that, on day one, we will change the federal controlled substance act which, if you can believe it, now equates heroin with marijuana. That’s insane. We’re going to take marijuana out of that and effectively legalize marijuana in every state in the country. What we are also going to do is move to expunge the records of those people who were arrested for possession of marijuana, and I’ll tell you what else we’re going to do, we’re going to provide help to the African-American, la teen — Latino, native American communities to start businesses to sell legal marijuana rather than let a few corporations to control the market.”
