Vice President Kamala Harris recently reiterated her support for the legalization of cannabis, emphasizing that individuals should not face incarceration for using marijuana. In a podcast interview with former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on the “All the Smoke” podcast, Harris expressed her belief that the criminalization of cannabis has had disproportionate impacts on certain communities.
Harris, who has been vocal about her stance on cannabis legalization dating back to her 2019 presidential campaign, highlighted the need to end the practice of sending individuals to jail for marijuana use. Despite her past roles as a district attorney and attorney general, where she was involved in prosecuting cannabis-related offenses and opposing legalization efforts, Harris has evolved in her views on the issue.
