Cory Booker said Joe Biden 'might have been high' for not supporting marijuana legalization
Sen. Cory Booker earned one of the biggest laughs of the fifth Democratic debate on Wednesday when he cracked a pot joke at Joe Biden‘s expense.
Although the joke lightened the debate’s mood for a moment, the exchange highlighted how far opinion on marijuana legalization has shifted over the last few years. A majority of Americans now say that marijuana should be “legalized” — which, as Booker advocates, would permit people to buy, sell and use marijuana. Biden has instead advocated for “decriminalizing” marijuana.
Just 20 years ago, only about 31% of Americans supported legalizing marijuana. Over the past two decades, more Americans have begun to use marijuana, and fewer are seeing it as harmful. Marijuana’s critics long said that it can have a “gateway effect” and can lead users to try harder drugs. Back in 2014, Biden himself described it as a “gateway drug.” However, experts say that there isn’t strong evidence that the effects of marijuana actually cause users to try other illegal drugs.
