WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris will hold the administration's first public event on marijuana reform this week after President Joe Biden addressed the issue as one of his priorities in last week's State of the Union address. Harris will convene a roundtable discussion in the West Wing, featuring Grammy-nominated artist Fat Joe, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and individuals who received pardons for prior cannabis convictions.
While young people identify plenty of issues that are most important to them — including abortion access, the economy and gun violence — cannabis reform is also a significant concern. According to a national poll commissioned by the Coalition for Cannabis Scheduling Reform, the overwhelming majority of 18-to-25 year-old likely voters expressed support for Biden’s efforts to reschedule cannabis, and 70% of Americans support federal marijuana legalization — the highest percentage ever.
