WASHINGTON — GOP presidential candidate Gary Johnson drew headlines earlier this month when he said he would issue a full presidential pardon for anyone serving a prison sentence for marijuana. He elaborated on that promise in a recent interview with The Huffington Post, adding that it’s only a matter of time before marijuana is legalized.
“Clearly it is when, not if,” he said of legalizing cannabis. “When 50 percent of the population says to the other 50 percent, ‘You belong behind bars for your actions,’ that’s not good law, that is just not good law at all.”
Johnson was referring to a recently released Gallup poll that found a full 50 percent of Americans favor legalizing marijuana, with support for legalization as high as 62 percent among Americans under the age of 30.
