Im not really a political person but the one thing I do care about is pot. Which candidate is most supportive of federally legalizing or at least bumping down the schedule 4 drug status of pot.

    Technically Biden, but ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh. He isn’t pro-legalisation but is the most likely route. As the cannabis industry gains more money and momentum it’s really just a matter of time, but there are Republicans actively fighting against it. So, do with that, what you will. Also don’t be fooled by libertarians, they will try to draw you in with pot and legal sex work, but that’s a trap.

    Neither side, really, but you can generally be certain that the Republican party is the one most against legalizing marijuana.

    Perhaps pot is the only issue you care about now, but a vote for anyone except Biden is functionally a vote for Trump, who will give you much bigger issues to worry about. So, the smart thing to do here is to vote Biden.

    A vote for Stein or West is functionally equivalent to driving to the ballot box just to rip up your ballot and drive home.

    Vote for your state’s office to change that, the federal government isn’t kicking down doors over weed.

    A vote for any US candidate it’s a vote for the NWO, less words: neither… anyway it will be legalized if it make big amounts of money.

      No. The Libertarian party is the least coherent of the four, and you can’t count on any consistency in their platform. They seem to do zero policing of their candidates’ attitudes.

      Lol, we already have Libertarian weed, it’s called the black market. I’d honestly prefer to go to a legal, local business and pay the taxes, at least my consumption would actually help my community then.
