Kamala Harris Pledges to Legalize Recreational Marijuana in 2024 Campaign
Nov 4, 2024, 12:07 AM
Vice President Kamala Harris has publicly reaffirmed her commitment to legalizing recreational marijuana if elected president. Speaking on the issue for the first time since becoming the Democratic nominee, Harris emphasized her intention to break down unjust legal barriers and create opportunities within the marijuana industry. This stance marks a significant shift in the political landscape, as previous administrations have largely ignored the issue. Harris's announcement has sparked various reactions, with some critics pointing to her past support of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act and the Controlled Substances Act as contradictory to her current position. Former President Donald Trump has also discussed the issue during the 2024 campaign.
