Map Favors Bernie After March 16 — Superdelegate Alan Grayson

8. Bernie will do well in all the "marijuana states." Those are the states on the Pacific coast.

I would probably be the last American to use marijuana. Does not interest me at all. But. . . . we do not like the fact that our state laws which are relaxed about marijuana conflict with federal law and that if a president wanted to enforce the federal laws, it would cause a lot of problems for citizens of our states.

So that is why I say that the marijuana states like Colorado, Oregon and California are likely to go for Bernie who has said he would take marijuana off the controlled substances list. I would like to see the government perhaps put marijuana under FDA supervision and make sure that what people buy, especially for medicinal purposes meets some sort of common standard so that they know what they are getting.

As I said, this is not a personal issue for me because I have a spiritual practice that does not include marijuana.
