Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard and more names you might recognize are all Democratic candidates who intend on, in some form or another, legalizing our favorite little plant. Many candidates, Sanders in particular, are big believers in social justice reform and intend on using new cannabis laws to help slowly put an end to the mass incarceration of nonviolent drug offenders, particularly those of color, who are targeted at an astoundingly higher rate. Andrew Yang holds a similar stance, and as a businessman and entrepreneur he emphasizes that the legalization of marijuana would result in billions of dollars in new revenue for cannabis businesses across the country. 

All in all, unless Trump manages to reign victorious in this next election, we’re likely looking at some major reform in policy when it comes to marijuana. That is, unless former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who seems to be the only 2020 candidate that remains skeptical of the new industry, is elected. Hopefully all those New York City kids that Mike had trudging to school in a foot of snow will remember those grueling early morning expeditions when they turn up at the ballots to vote. Here at The Smokers Club, we’re very excited to see what’s to come for the weed industry after the election, and even more excited to see Trump get his ass kicked - fingers crossed!
