Joe Biden was brutally mocked online by other Democrats after suggesting he won’t legalize pot because Marijuana might be a “gateway drug.”
“It is not irrational to do more scientific investigation to determine, which we have not done significantly enough, whether or not there are any things that relate to whether it’s a gateway drug or not,” the former Vice President said on Saturday.
WATCH: @JoeBiden on marijuana legalization – "There is not nearly been enough evidence…as to whether or not it is a gateway drug," he said last night, "It’s a debate." Biden said states should decide on legalization & that he supports medical marijuana. @CBSNews pic.twitter.com/s4CE32phLS

Freshman rep. AOC disputed Biden within hours.
Marijuana should be legalized, and drug consumption should be decriminalized.
These are matters of public health.
