ICYMI: Kamala Harris To Legalise Marijuana If Elected President Of United States

As the United States prepares for its presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s candidate, has made a strong pledge to legalise recreational marijuana if she wins the presidency.

Harris shared this promise on her social media account, stating her commitment to reform.

“I will legalize recreational marijuana, break down unjust legal barriers, and create opportunities for all Americans to succeed in this new industry,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter), reaffirming her focus on social and economic reform through marijuana legalization.

Recall that legalization advocates have long called for federal reforms to the current marijuana policy, citing benefits for criminal justice reform and economic growth.

Harris’s promise has earned her support from various American celebrities, including Beyoncé, Cardi B, Olivia Rodrigo, and Ariana Grande, whose endorsements have brought her campaign further into the public eye.

This backing from cultural icons could strengthen her appeal, particularly among younger voters and proponents of marijuana reform.

The Democratic candidate faces a tough battle against Republican opponent and former president Donald Trump.

With marijuana reform at the forefront of Harris’s platform, it means the election outcome could signal a significant shift in US marijuana policy, depending on voters’ response to her proposal.
