2016 Presidential Elections Marijuana

Marijuana legalization has become a major topic in America, and the 2016 presidential candidates’ views on marijuana legalization could make or break their run at presidency.

So far, only a few presidential candidates have made statements claiming to be open to some type of marijuana law reform. Most of the candidates still believe that marijuana has no medical value and/or that it is a “gateway” drug, although all current research studies have proven otherwise.

A few of the current pro-marijuana presidential candidates are: Rand Paul (R), Hillary Clinton (D), Bernie Sanders (D), and Jim Webb (D).

List of all 2016 presidential candidates’ views on marijuana legalization.

Arizona legalized marijuana for recreational use in November 2020. The law allows adults aged 21+ to purchase, possess and use cannabis. State-licensed cannabis dispensaries began selling recreational marijuana in early 2021. There are over 150 dispensaries in Arizona — a majority of them are in populous areas such as Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff. Recreational cannabis delivery services began operating in 2024.
