WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Joe Biden is staking out a position to the political right of the 2020 field when it comes to marijuana policy.
Biden would not legalize weed as president, but he called for expungement of all past convictions for pot use as part of a criminal justice reform plan released by his presidential campaign Tuesday.
Biden would support the decriminalization but not legalization of marijuana for recreational use. That keeps him out of step with every other top-tier Democratic presidential candidate, all of whom have called for the full federal legalization of the plant.
Joe Biden Has a Plan on Weed (That Doesn't Involve Legalizing It)
Looking older by the minute, Joe.
