For the first time since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated her support for legalizing marijuana at the federal level, going further on the issue than President Joe Biden.

During a nearly hourlong interview on the sports and culture podcast “All the Smoke” that aired on Sept. 30, Harris said she believes “we have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing behavior.”
