U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is generally known for taking bold progressive stands, has disappointed many advocates by opposing the legalization of marijuana. But her stance on ending prohibition now seems to be evolving.
“I’m open to it,” she said, when asked about a legalization initiative that may appear on her home state of Massachusetts’s ballot next year.
As a candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in 2011, Warren simply responded, “No,” when asked whether she favored legalization. On another occasion, she even went out of her way to criticize a Republican opponent who supports legalization (along with gun rights), saying, “He wants us armed and stoned.”
