Harris also has a great deal of gumption—she will call out the current establishment and hold them accountable. This VP pick gives me hope for the future

Grading the Democratic Presidential Candidates on Marijuana: Kamala Harris

JULY 13TH, 2019

Stance on marijuana: Senator Kamala Harris wants to legalize marijuana as part of her criminal justice reform platform. As stated on her website:

Kamala will take action to legalize marijuana, further reform federal sentencing laws, end private prisons and the profiting off of people in prison, and push states to prioritize treatment and rehabilitation for drug offenses.”

On social media, Harris has not only called for legalizing marijuana, but also for expunging marijuana offenses from criminal records.

History with marijuana legislation: Harris’ website gives the impression that she has for a long time tirelessly advocated for criminal justice reform, first as an attorney, in her roles as District Attorney of San Francisco and Attorney General of California, and then as a Senator. Now as a presidential candidate, Harris has openly advocated for legalizing marijuana as a criminal justice reform issue. Specifically, she cites the disproportionate incarceration rates for people of color facing marijuana-related charges.
