Tom Steyer is one of a few big billionaires running for president .. because apparently having heaping gobs of money wasn’t enough for these greedy wannabe politicians. Mr. Steyer has never held public office, so we’ll have to take him for his word that he’s pro-cannabis. 

Recently, Steyer’s team had this to say about the issue, “Tom believes we must end the failed War on Drugs. Incarceration is not the answer to addiction, and low-level drug offenses should not carry a severe sentence. Tom will legalize marijuana, let states pass their own policies, expunge past records, and direct the federal government to open banking services to the marijuana industry.”

Nice words, but it’s hard to say what Steyer would or would not support. He’s spoken positively about cannabis, but without any legislation, or any serious plan on his website, it’s tough to tell if he’s going to move the needle forward, toward legalization, or just keep things as they are.
