WASHINGTON - Democratic White House hopeful Kamala Harris introduced a Senate bill on Tuesday to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level, erase past convictions and use funds from marijuana sales to invest in communities hit by the decades-long “war on drugs.”
Harris’ marijuana stances have evolved. In May 2018, the former prosecutor signed on to a bill by now fellow White House contender Senator Cory Booker to fully legalize it after previously supporting legalizing medical marijuana and decriminalizing past convictions. Former President Richard Nixon declared a “war on drugs” in the 1970s. The decades-long push to increase the scope of federal drug enforcement agencies and the implementation of policies such as drug-related mandatory minimum sentences led to disproportionately high arrest and incarceration rates for minorities.
