[Warren DeMontague]

53. WA, AK, CO & OR have all legalized marijuana for recreational use.

CA is likely to in November as well, bringing lots more people into the polls.

People who underestimate the importance of this issue on the West Coast are doing their understanding of political reality a disservice.

Hillary Clinton, while certainly not as noxious as Chris Christie on the matter, has steadfastly avoided addressing real reform beyond changing the scheduling federally from I to II (which would still leave the conflict btw federal and state law intact, with both recreational and medical users in legal states at the mercy of any future DOJ deciding to prosecute them) - in fact, when asked about the topic in the debates, HRC would clumsily pivot to "the heroin addiction problem"

...whereas Sanders has come out for federal descheduling as well as directly calling the drug war a "failure", which it is.

This issue is more important to voters out west than, again, the beltway conventional wisdom nabobs - who like to pretend it is a big joke - give it credit for. Add to that the fact that CO is an important electoral swing state. Hillary needs to do better.
