Vice President Kamala Harris has announced her intention to legalize marijuana in the United States if elected President. Harris emphasized that no one should go to jail for smoking weed, a stance she reiterated multiple times. She stated that this move aims to break down unjust legal barriers that hold Black men back. This position marks a significant shift from her tenure as San Francisco district attorney, where she oversaw 1,900 convictions for marijuana offenses, some resulting in jail time.
