President Donald Trump says he’s never smoked pot in his life. His potential rival in the 2020 election makes no such claim.
On the contrary...
‘I did inhale. It was a long time ago, but yes, I just broke loose.’
That’s how presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris, poking fun at Bill Clinton’s famously laughable denial, answered when WWPR’s host Charlamagne Tha God asked whether she’s ever smoked marijuana.
The broader conversation focused on Harris’s views on marijuana laws, in light of accusations that she has, in the past, opposed legalization efforts.
“Half my family’s from Jamaica, are you kidding me?” she said. Harris backed fellow 2020 candidate Sen. Cory Booker’s proposed decriminalization bill.
“I think that it gives a lot of people joy, we need more joy,” Harris said, laughing.
