Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a stand for legalizing marijuana but went a step further saying drug consumption, in general, should be decriminalized.
The New York Democrat issued a statement on social media just hours after former Vice President Joe Biden said he wanted to see more research proving pot isn’t a gateway drug.

“The truth of the matter is, there’s not nearly been enough evidence that has been acquired as to whether or not it is a gateway drug,” Biden said. “It’s a debate, and I want a lot more before I legalize it nationally. I want to make sure we know a lot more about the science behind it.”
