In a recent interview, Harris pushed for the legalization of marijuana, despite opposing the drug as Attorney General of California
From The Epoch Times. For the first time since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated her support for legalizing marijuana at the federal level, going further on the issue than President Joe Biden.
Connect with others in your state in prayer.
During a nearly hourlong interview on the sports and culture podcast “All the Smoke” that aired on Sept. 30, Harris said she believes “we have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing behavior.” …
“I just feel strongly people should not be going to jail for smoking weed,” Harris told hosts Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes. …
Although Harris said supporting legalization is “not a new position for me” and that she has “felt for a long time [that] we need to legalize it,” her position on marijuana has changed since her early career.
During a 2019 Democratic presidential debate, former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard criticized Harris for aggressively prosecuting marijuana-related offenses as San Francisco’s district attorney and later as attorney general of California. …
As a U.S. Senator, however, Harris co-sponsored the Marijuana Justice Act of 2019, which aimed to end the federal prohibition of marijuana.
That same year, while running for president, she supported expunging nonviolent marijuana-related crimes, which Biden eventually implemented in 2022. …
While the Biden administration has been the first to move toward reclassifying marijuana—which would be the most significant change in decades of drug policy from the executive branch—he has not gone as far as backing full legalization. …
Harris’s latest remarks on the podcast were the first time she has mentioned marijuana policy since launching her campaign in late July.
Her position isn’t stated on her campaign website. …

Could we have a worse character than Kamala Harris as president who is for legalizing abortion, Marijuana, prostitution, and now we find out the cocaine in the White House was for her. Dear God, please protect us from this communist woman becoming President of the USA , in Jesus’s Name I pray.
It certainly does less harm than guns – which are legal.
NO WE DON’T. I pray and declare Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. (Isaiah7:7), in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, amen.
I don’t have a problem with legalized medical marijuana. It can help people calm down. But I’ve never used it.
