Jimmy Carter is on board with marijuana legalization

Former President Jimmy Carter said that he favored legalizing marijuana during a panel discussion broadcast on CNN Tuesday.

“I’m in favor of it. I think it’s OK,” Carter said at the forum, which was taped Friday. “I don’t think it’s going to happen in Georgia yet, but I think we can watch and see what happens in the state of Washington, for instance…

“So I think a few places around the world is good to experiment with and also just a few states in America are good to take the initiative and try something out,” Carter said.
