Pat Robertson, the conservative television evangelist for the Christian Broadcast Network, appears to support legalizing (or at least decriminalizing) marijuana.

On the "700 Club," which he hosts, Robertson said ...

"We're locking up people that have taken a couple puffs of marijuana and next thing you know they've got 10 years with mandatory sentences. These judges just say, they throw up their hands and say nothing we can do with these mandatory sentences. We've got to take a look at what we're considering crimes and that's one of 'em."
