Joe Biden Says “No One Should Be Going to Jail” For Cannabis Use
In an interview with ABC on the weekend, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris touched on their drug policy, in which the potential leaders of the U.S. hinted at cannabis decriminalization.
In a new interview over the weekend, the U.S. Presidential Candidate Joe Biden, and his Vice Presidential pick Kamala Harris, both sat down with ABC’s Robin Roberts to discuss what a Biden/Harris administration might look like.
The interview was the first in which Biden and Harris were interviewed together since Biden announced Harris as his VP pick, and followed the 3-day Democrat National Convention held last week.
As we discussed recently, there was no mention of cannabis at the recent DNC convention, hinting at the possibility that cannabis law reform may take a backseat in a Biden/Harris administration. However, the ABC interview suggests otherwise, with both candidates outlining their desire to enact law reform for drug users.
