In first major Democrat Prez debate, Bernie Sanders says he’d likely vote for marijuana legalization; Hillary Clinton still has her finger in the air

Marijuana reform came up during the Democratic debate in Las Vegas tonight, and toward the end a question directed toward Senator Bernie Sanders asked if he would likely vote for full marijuana legalization were he a voter in Nevada when the issue was on the ballot in 2016.  He said he probably would vote in favor of legalization, and he said his disaffinity for the harms of the drug war would drive his vote.

 Hillary Clinton got a follow-up question asking if she had seen enough results from Colorado and Washington to weigh in.   She said she was in favor of medical marijuana and more research, but she avoided an answer as to recreational marijuana.  And, somewhat disappointingly, none of the other Democratic Prez candidates was asked to speak on the issue.
