Kamala, in an almost hour-long interview released on Monday on the Sports and Culture podcast, stated that we need to understand the importance of legalizing it and ending the criminalization of this behavior.

Harris said
"We have come to a point where we have to understand that we have to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior." This is not a new position for me. I have felt for a long time that we have to legalize this behavior."

The movement toward relaxing punishment on marijuana use took a new turn in October 2022, when President Joe Biden said he would issue pardons to everyone convicted of the federal crime of simple marijuana possession while calling for governors to make similar moves for convictions under state laws. The proclamation applied to about 6,500 Americans, but a senior White House official clarified to reporters that no one was behind bars for simple possession of marijuana at the time. Our expert team earlier took a close look at Harris Kamal's chances of winning the US presidential election, including the betting odds available.

Harris has consistently advocated for the legalization of marijuana. As a senator, she has introduced legislation to legalize the drug across the country and to clear nonviolent marijuana-related offenses from people's records. 

Harris stated
"I strongly believe that individuals should not be incarcerated for using marijuana. "We are aware of the historical implications and the disproportionate impact on certain groups." "I just feel strongly that people should not be going to jail for smoking weed," Harris said. "We know historically what that has meant and who has gone to jail."

Legalize federally now. What's legal to possess and consume in over half of the populated areas of The United States should not make you a criminal in states still being governed by woefully ignorant prohibitionist politicians.
Cannabis consumers in all states deserve and demand equal rights and protections under our laws that are currently afforded to the drinkers of far more dangerous and deadly, yet perfectly legal, widely accepted, endlessly advertised and even glorified as an All-American pastime, alcohol.
Plain and simple!
Legalize Nationwide Federally Now!

It's time for us, the majority of The People to take back control of our national cannabis policy. By voting OUT of office any and all politicians who very publicly and vocally admit to having an anti-cannabis, prohibitionist agenda! Time to vote'em all OUT of office. Period. Plain and simple.
Politicians who continue to demonize Cannabis, Corrupt Law Enforcement Officials who prefer to ruin peoples lives over Cannabis possession rather than solve real crimes who fund their departments toys and salaries with monies acquired through cannabis home raids, seizures and forfeitures, and so-called "Addiction Specialists" who make their income off of the judicial misfortunes of our citizens who choose cannabis, - Your actions go against The Will of The People and Your Days In Office Are Numbered! Find new careers before you don't have one.
The People have spoken! Get on-board with Cannabis L

"Americans Favor Legalizing Cannabis Support surged 10 percentage points in past year""
-Gallup Poll
"A solid majority of voters nationwide favor legalizing and regulating cannabis similar to the way alcohol and tobacco cigarettes are currently regulated. Most also dont believe it should be a crime for people to smoke cannabis in the privacy of their own homes"
-Rasmussen Poll
"Americans favor making cannabis legal for adults, according to the findings of a CNN/ORC International survey released late Monday. The percentage is the highest ever reported by the survey, which has been tracking public opinion on the issue since 1973, and marks a 12 percentage point jump in support since the last time pollsters posed the question in 2012"
