Vice President Kamala Harris pledged Monday to federally legalize cannabis, ensuring that "safe cultivation, distribution and possession of recreational marijuana is the law of the land."

Good stuff.

Harris' promise is part of a package of initiatives aimed at energizing Black male voters ahead of the November election.

What the shit?

While I am not a fan of cannabis, I am a fan of its decriminalization.

Clunky phrasing/reporting but I might attribute it to this. POCs get screwed in the drug wars harder than whites by a sizable margin, so it makes sense if they would see that as pretty important.
