Breitbart: Kamala Harris Promises Loans to ‘Disadvantaged’ Individuals in the Marijuana Industry.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) unveiled a sweeping criminal justice reform plan Monday and dedicated a significant portion of it to the legalization of marijuana, promising to facilitate government loans to “socially and economically disadvantaged individuals” in the marijuana industry.
Harris unveiled her comprehensive criminal justice reform plan Monday, days ahead of the third Democrat debate in Houston, Texas. Harris’s plan calls for the end of mass incarceration, pushing community-based programs instead. She echoes many of her colleagues, emphasizing the importance of holding police departments accountable and treating individuals “equitably and humanely.” The presidential candidate dedicated a significant portion of her criminal justice reform plan to ending the “war on drugs” by legalizing marijuana.
“So it is past time to end the failed war on drugs, and it begins with legalizing marijuana,” Harris’s plan states. “Marijuana arrests account for over 50% of all drug arrests.”
“Of the 8.2 million marijuana arrests between 2001 and 2010, 88% were for simple marijuana possession,” it continues. “Worse, despite roughly equal usage rates, Black people are about four times more likely than White people to be arrested for marijuana.”
“Black Americans also make up nearly 30% of all drug-related arrests, despite accounting for only 12.5% of substance users,” it adds.
Harris will make these changes by pushing the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, which according to her website “legalizes marijuana at the federal level by removing the substance from the Controlled Substances Act.” It also promises loans to “assist small businesses in the marijuana industry that are owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.”
No. She just thinks all black people smoke da ganja and listen to Tupac. Therefore the way to win them over is to offer them pot and brag about listening to Tupac.
In other words, she’s a 1-dimensional bigot who stereotypes people.
Hey! Where’s my avatar?!
sorry to be crass, but-
why would anyone believe anything that comes out of this whore’s mouth? The same mouth that sucked on willie brown’s penis (while he had kids and was married to another woman) to get her first big job.
she’s a skanky, vindictive bitch
Why not tattoo parlors, strip clubs, drag shows and massage parlors while she is at it? Oh yea honey, she a classy one that Kamala
She certainly is laser focused on her core voters.
the upshot of her advocating for legalization will be regulation and taxation of marijuana. If it is to be legal, just make it legal and leave it alone. If she shows favorability in who is able to profit from it, she will just continue ‘blackmarket’ organized crime involvement with it, as they undercut and circumvent regulation. She just wants votes and taxes, and more importantly for her- power.
