On Thursday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) signed on as a cosponsor of far-reaching marijuana law reform legislation introduced by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ).

The two are conducting a Facebook Live chat about the bill, which would deschedule cannabis and withhold funding from states that have discriminatory marijuana enforcement.
