Next, possibly the biggest winner in this election was cannabis and magic mushrooms. Measures to legalize cannabis had major victories in various states. Oregon became the first state to make possession of small amounts of harder drugs like cocaine, heroin and other drugs not punishable by jail time. Oregon and Washington D.C. also approved the therapeutic use of magic mushrooms. Alicia Victoria Lozano, digital reporter at NBC News, joins us for how drugs were a big winner this election.
