"It's something I feel strongly about, just to let you know something personal about me," Sanders said. "I will deal with the consequences from it. It's a banned substance in my league. But I believe in marijuana and the medical side of it. I know what it is if I'm going to use it.

"I study it and I know the benefits it has. In a lot of ways we've been deprived. You can't really label it with so many other drugs that people can be addicted to and have so many negative effects on your body and your family and your relationships and impairment. This is not the same thing.

"The stigma is that it's illegal. I hate that. Once this becomes legal, this all will go away. But I understand for my work it's a banned substance. I will deal with the consequences and I apologize again to my fans for that."

THANK YOU LARRY!!!! Perfectly said. Perfectly viewed. This was my exact thoughts for the 15 straight years I did the shit, and still is even though I haven't in quite some time. Maryjane is medicinal, and brings positive overall effects to the human body. It is here to help, and we should be free to do with it as we please.
