WE'RE HERE WITH SENATOR CORY BOOKER, NOW REGGIE,
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUEST THIS EVENING?
>> YES, I DO, TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO MR. BOOKER.
I'M FROM MONTANA SO WE VOTED PRETTY REPUBLICAN THIS YEAR BUT
WE DID LEGALIZE WEED.
SO MY QUESTION IS THE MORE THAT WEED BECOMES LEGAL DO YOU THINK
THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOOSEN UP AND GET CLOSER TO THE
REASONABLE CENTER?
>> I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WEED ALSO WAS ON THE BALLOT IN NEW
JERSEY.
>> Reggie: THAT'S RIGHT.
>> AND MY GIRLFRIEND FIRST TIME VOTING IN NEW JERSEY FOR HERE
WAS MORE EXCITED TO VOTE FOR WEED THAN FOR ME FOR RE-ELECTION
TO THE YUNTED STATES SENATE.
SO I AM READY FOR THE END OF THE DAMN DRUG WAR WHICH HAS REALLY
NOT BEEN A WAR ON DRUGS, IT HAS BEEN A WAR ON PEOPLE.
THERE WERE MORE MARIJUANA POSSESSION ARRESTS IN THE LAST
YEAR WE HAD RECORDS THAN ALL OTHER CRIME ARRESTS COMBINED.
DECRIMINALIZING USING THE DRUG THAT TWO OF THE LAST THREE
PRESIDENTS USED.
SO I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS GOING TO RESULT IN TERMS OF THE
POLITICAL SPECTRUM, LEFT, RIGHT, I KNOW THIS, IT WILL MAKE ALL OF
US MORE TRUTHFUL IF WE PLEDGE A LEGANCE TO THE FLAG AND SAY
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL BECAUSE IT WILL END THE HORRIBLE
WAR ON MARIJUANA WHICH HAS HURT BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE, VETERANS
AND LOW INCOME.
>> Reggie: WELL, HAVE I NO CHOICE BUT TO DECLARE THAT
CORRECT.
>> James: IT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
