With the election just a few days away, it is not actually surprising that candidates are now stretching their stances on a lot of issues in order to reach out to bigger and more diverse set of people. When you talk about Hillary Clinton, one of her stances aims at the legalization of cannabis.

She always tries to cover up when asked about this topic stating that she has not much information regarding the same. In one of the interviews that she gave, Hillary stated that she is fully supporting states in making this serious decision so that there will be some great experience as to what works and what doesn’t. However, a new DNC e-mail that leaked revealed something else.

Hillary’s statements can be found in a lot of paid Wall Street speeches where she addressed problems like the crisis of financial sectors and banks in the United States and take on other industries. As per some sources, Hillary made use of Wall Street (style code) to bring out her lack of interest in legalizing cannabis.

All through Hillary’s political career, particularly during the campaigning for the election in 2016, her views on this topic has been fluctuating; she has been refusing to commit if she wants to support cannabis legalization or not. Hillary has always tried to play it safe on a lot of occasions; her response in the year 2007 was pretty surprising. She had stated that one should not decriminalize it. She also stated that one should make use of the alternatives to the incarceration for lower levels; she had also proposed to move cannabis from Schedule 1 to that of Schedule 11 substance as per her campaign site in the year 2016.

Let us all be practical and honest here. Hillary is basically a politician and her statements on various policies that are political in nature have been fluctuating throughout her career just like the other politicians. Even in the year 2008 election-run, she had changed her opinion with regard to gay marriage.

Hillary may be correct when she said she wants to leave the cannabis legalization as well as its effects to the policies and also the new budding industry to the states for the time being. In the month of November 2016, 9 states will present cannabis policy changes, which include the new medical cannabis opportunities and the state-wide use for recreational purposes.
