Where the 2016 presidential candidates stand on marijuana

It’s April 20th or 4/20, a day when marijuana enthusiasts gather, legally or otherwise, to celebrate the joys of smoking pot — a sort of stoner Fourth of July.

Last year, President Barack Obama gave weed activists a boost when he said he considers marijuana no more dangerous than alcohol.

“As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life,“ Obama told the New Yorker after Colorado’s historic legalization of recreational marijuana. "I don’t think it is more dangerous than alcohol.”

So where does the crop of current and possible 2016 presidential candidates stand on the issue of marijuana?
