Kamala Harris Advises On Howard Stern Show: Don't Get Stoned Before Visiting The Sphere In Las Vegas

In a Tuesday interview on the “The Howard Stern Show,” VP Kamala Harris talked about taking her husband to see U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

"Oh my god, have you been to the Sphere?" Harris asked Stern who replied that he was "troubled by it."

Presumably Stern was referring to the complex's 360-foot-tall, high-tech amphitheater with its 1.2 million LED screens. The theater might be a bit much for those sensitive to loud noise, flashing lights, haptics and other invasive sensory stimulus, which Harris apparently is not.

"Let me just say, basically… everyone should go in with a clear head," Harris said.

"You mean don't be high?" Stern interjected

"Correct," Harris said laughing. "It's a lot. There's a lot of visual stimulation."

Getting More Comfortable About Her Cannabis Stance

Harris, like her boss Joe Biden, says no one should be in jail for cannabis possession. But it’s taken a while for her to take the next logical step. That changed only recently.

In late September, Harris told former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on "All the Smoke" podcast that the time had come to legalize marijuana, marking the first time the VP had publicly discussed her position on legalization since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee in late July.

“I just feel strongly, people should not be going to jail for smoking weed. And we know historically what that has meant and who has gone to jail,” Harris said. "Second, I just think we have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior."

Harris added that this was not new. "I have felt for a long time we need to legalize it.”

Trump Hops On The Cannabis Train

Meanwhile, former president Donald Trump has not felt this way for long but apparently decided recently that cannabis legalization might be a good issue to support. After all, nearly seven in 10 American voters, including a majority of Republicans, support legalizing cannabis, according to various polls.

Trump made headlines when he came out in support of federally rescheduling cannabis, legalizing marijuana in Florida and passing the SAFE Banking Act all in one day. This sent the Harris campaign into a collective conniption fit, replete with accusations that the former president’s weed flip-flop was "blatant pandering."

Be that as it may, this November’s presidential election will be the first in U.S. history where both major candidates support legalizing cannabis… or so they say.
