Hillary Clinton has been dodging the hot topic of marijuana for most of her campaign, but she’s finally taken a stance and it’s a little different from the last time she mentioned it. We have all the details. I believe that we’re all in this together and we can make a better future.
Earlier, Clinton tried to point out the major differences between herself and Vermont Sen.
