According to a Breitbart News report, Kamala Harris indicated she would decriminalize heroin, fentanyl, and “all drug possession for personal use” on a 2019 ACLU questionnaire.
The ACLU questionnaire asked Harris, “Since drug use is better addressed as a public health issue (through treatment and other programming), will you support the decriminalization at the federal level of all drug possession for personal use?”
Harris checked the “yes” box on the form.
From Breitbart News:
Drug cartels highly traffic both fentanyl and heroin across the open southern border. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) estimates that more than 100,000 people died from drug overdose deaths in 2022, the most recent year on file.
“Overall, drug overdose deaths rose from 2019 to 2022 with 107,941 drug overdose deaths reported in 2022,” the NCHS reported. “Deaths involving synthetic opioids other than methadone (primarily illicitly manufactured fentanyl) continued to rise with 73,838 overdose deaths reported in 2022.”
The questionnaire, which CNN reported on Monday, also shows that Harris expressed support “for sweeping reductions to Immigration and Custom[s] Enforcement [ICE] operations, including drastic cuts in ICE funding and an open-ended pledge to ‘end’ immigration detention.”

Will Kamala Harris be questioned on this policy stance during tonight’s debate? Doubtful.
