Top 5 Reasons Bernie Sanders Voters Should Support Gary Johnson

 3. War on Drugs

The Junior Senator from Vermont makes his opposition to the War on Drugs clear. Sanders asserts that there are “far too many people in jail for nonviolent crimes” and that “the war against drugs has not been successful.” Further, he supports the legalization of marijuana.

Gary Johnson has made no secret of his opposition to the drug war and favoring of marijuana legalization. Prior to running for President this year, Johnson was the CEO of Cannabis Sativa, a company specializing in the sale of medical marijuana. He has not only repeatedly called for legalization of marijuana, but also a rethinking of the war on drugs as a whole. Johnson recently suggested that the war on drugs is a root cause of contention between Americans and the police.
