in late August, the House will vote on its own version of the MORE Act before the end of this month.
While the MORE Act calls for legalization, Harris has yet to go so far as to publicly call for the same since joining Biden’s ticket. Since championing the of 1994, Biden has softened toward the decriminalization of cannabis, though he is not in support of legalization., a journal of the Missouri State Medical Association, legalization of cannabis would allow and regulate it in ways similar to how alcohol and tobacco are sold and governed. To decriminalize cannabis would only remove criminal sanctions as punishment for an offense.
Since joining his ticket, Harris has not called for anything beyond decriminalization or expungement of prior drug-related offenses, a noticeable distancing from the descheduling called for in the MORE Act she sponsored and introduced to the Senate last year.
Biden’s support of decriminalizing cannabis is a marked result of his evolution on the drug, a stark contrast to hisIn an interview with Revolt TV, Representative Barbara Lee , cochair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, said she thinks Harris will be effective in further pushing Biden toward federal legalization.. “She’s from California. She knows this industry and she knows the laws very well and she supports legalization. Vice President Biden hasn’t quite got there yet.
lmao decriminalization is literally an incrementalist approach to legalization
The full step would be to decriminalize all drugs, but no-one is proposing that because it would solve too many problems.
Harris IS the system
That’s nice. Are all the people in prison rn for marijuana charges going to have those charges expunged tho? That’s something almost invariably missing from the decriminalization vs legalization debate.
this is literally just a half step towards legalization
healthcare plz meme
dealing with the system by promising to give police $300 million more than trump lmao
no time for half-stepping but let’s talk about decriminalization not legalization
Lmao she had the chance
Democratic platform already stated no legalization Harris laughed about smoking pot while locking up people of color who smoked pot = HYPOCRITE. Jorgensen4POTUS is the ONLY candidate who WILL legalize & EndTheDrugWar LetherSpeak
keep it up miss piggy 👍👮♀️
Why wasn’t this done in the 8 years he was VP?
Harris has a horrible criminal justice track record... look it up...
_CannaQueen_ ok 👀👀
FFS she’s the one who incarcerated thousands of black men for first offense drug charges. She’s a LIAR
Didn't harris keep young black men jn jail for drug offenses because of the cheap prison labour?
'Vote for us, we'll let you smoke dope.' That sounds pretty desperate.
It’s a start, keep going.
Ironic.
Must be the guilt of putting so many away for pot
liberalinTX Before more idiots say “legalize it”, the federal government can’t do that. By doing what they’re doing, states will then legalize it. The ones that don’t will notice the revenue they’re missing out on and join in until it’s the whole country
I want biden to force the words through his thin white lips
Not good enough.
So it’s just a misdemeanor, not legal. Very cool.
