Kamala Harris' marijuana stance is hazier than you think

Summary

Nutrition label

83% Informative

Kamala Harris has previously supported federal marijuana legalization and expunging nonviolent marijuana -related offenses.

But it's not clear exactly how far she would lean further into pro-marijuana reforms if elected president.

Lawmakers told Business Insider they remained unsure how she would approach the issue.

The only "practical impact" is that marijuana businesses would now be allowed to deduct business expenses on tax filings.

If Harris were to pursue legalization, there are two ways that she could do it: by signing federal legislation passed by Congress , or by moving to de-schedule the drug herself.
