Sen. Kamala Harris appeared on New York City’s popular Breakfast Club radio show this morning, where she revealed that she smoked marijuana “a long time ago” and that she “definitely inhaled.”
Last year Harris came out for legalizing marijuana on the federal level, co-sponsoring Sen. Cory Booker’s Marijuana Justice Act.
She has also called for more research into the drug’s effect on the “developing brain” and for “investing in a solution” for law enforcement to determine the limits of driving while impaired by weed.
“I think it gives a lot of people joy. And we need more joy,” @KamalaHarris says of marijuana, allowing that she’s smoked a joint in a free-flowing @breakfastclubam chat.
