Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States and the Democratic Party’s candidate for president, has made a significant promise: she will legalize recreational marijuana if she is elected. In a recent post on her X account, she emphasized her commitment to breaking down unfair legal barriers that prevent progress in the marijuana industry.
Harris stated, “I will legalize recreational marijuana, break down unjust legal barriers, and create opportunities for all Americans to succeed in this new industry.” Her plan aims to not only legalize marijuana but also to create new job opportunities for Americans, allowing them to thrive in this growing market.
In the upcoming election, Harris will face off against former President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate. She became the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden chose not to run again and endorsed her in July.
Harris has gained support from many prominent celebrities, including Beyoncé, Cardi B, Olivia Rodrigo, and Ariana Grande, who have publicly endorsed her campaign. Their backing highlights her appeal among younger voters and those interested in marijuana legalization.
As the election approaches, Harris’s stance on marijuana could play a key role in shaping voter opinions and influencing the outcome.
