This election day, cast an informed vote for politicians who aren’t friends of the drug war.We’ve already explained that between Hillary and Donald, Hillary is a slightly better choice for the marijuana community, although neither of them is even close to being a cannabis legalizer like Bernie Sanders.
Now there’s a free guide you can access online so you find out whether your U.S. Senator or member of the House of Representatives is a drug war friend or foe.
The guide, put out by the non-profit group Drug Policy Action, has you type in your zip code.
Then you read a report on your senators and congressional representatives telling you how they voted on federal legislation regarding marijuana and other substances.

That’s why it’s important that you make informed voting decisions this election day.
