Sanders: Marijuana Possession a Racial Issue

SANDERS: "Now it turns out in the last 30 years, millions of people received criminal records because of possession of marijuana. And it turns out also interestingly enough with the white community and black community do marijuana at about equal levels but blacks are four times more likely to be arrested than whites, so this becomes a racial issue and not just a criminal justice issue. I would take marijuana out of the Federal Controlled Substance Act."
