BIden Administration would decriminalize cannabis, VP candidate Harris said

A Biden Administration, if elected into office this November, would decriminalize the use of marijuana, according to Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Harris made the comments on thursday during a recent virtual roundtable hosted by ABC and Facebook Live. "Under a Biden-Harris administration, we will decriminalize the use of marijuana and automatically expunge all marijuana-use convictions, and end incarceration for drug use alone," Harris said. Teen Vogue notes that Harris's comments on cannabis decriminalization come following a recent shift after advocating against legalization a decade ago, while sponsoring legislation in 2019 that would federally deschedule cannabis and formally legalize it at the federal level.
