Weed, weed and weed

Where do 2020 Democratic candidates stand on weed?

Considered inconceivable or at best a fringe position a little more than a decade ago, federal legalization of marijuana is becoming increasingly likely if the Democrats recapture the White House in the 2020 election. At least, that’s the way most of the top 2020 Democratic candidates are making it seem on the campaign trail.

In 2013, polling found for the first time that a majority of Americans favored marijuana legalization. Support has only become broader in the years since. In 2018, a Gallup poll found two-thirds of Americans support legalization, marking the third year in a row positive sentiment increased. It was also the second straight year Gallup found a slim majority of Republicans also support legalization. Per the Pew Research Center, 75 percent of independents who lean Democratic want to see weed legalized.
