Kamala targets black men with promises, saying she will legalize weed and forgive business loans

Kamala Harris is trying to shore up the black male vote, which has proved elusive to her.

Her new plan to bring in the black male vote is a promise that she will, as president, forgive taxpayer-funded business loans up to $20,000 for black male entrepreneurs, and to legalize marijuana. She also has plans for crypto, to “make sure owners of and investors in digital assets benefit from a regulatory framework so that Black men and others who participate in this market are protected.”

Her new opportunity plan for black men includes easier pathways for them to engage in a legalized marijuana trade. In addition, she has plans to forgive student loan debt for black male teachers.

According to the National Institutes of Health, In 2019, approximately 48 million people (17.5%) ages 12 and over in the United States reported using cannabis in the past year. Among past-year cannabis users, 3.5 million reported initiating cannabis use for the first time that year.

“The heavy and prolonged use of cannabis has been linked to several adverse health effects such as memory impairment, issues with executive functioning, and increased risk for developing a mental illness. Furthermore, the literature posits that 30% of weekly cannabis users will be diagnosed with Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) in their lifetime. Despite the associated health risks, the perceived risk associated with weekly cannabis use has declined among all age groups (i.e., 12 and over) within the past-year, indicating increased likelihood for problematic use,” the NIH said in this paper.

The race for president is described by the media and pollsters as close, but the betting markets have broken for Donald Trump. Polymarket, one of the leading online betting sites, shows dramatic shift to Trump in recent days, which may have prompted Harris to use the marijuana-for-votes tactic in her campaign.
