Colorado has 20 new WHITE millionaires since legalizing marijuana, MEANWHILE Louisiana continues to incarcerates 1 out of 3 black peoples for non violent crimes such as possession of marijuana WHICH IS MEDICINE FOR WHITE PEOPLE BUT DRUGS FOR BLACKS
White stoners love ignoring how racist all of this is. They get upset when we mention how many Black people are sitting behind bars for a marijuana smh – K
Talk That Real.
Legalization should include ending sentences for people who are currently incarcerated for marijuana reasons. But legalization activists won’t touch that because they’re shits.
Legalization activists won’t touch incarceration because they don’t care about black or brown people
I used to live in a fairly racially-diverse place that hosted a yearly marijuana legalization event/rally/whatever. The whole thing was just white people with dreadlocks wearing baja jackets talking about how fun weed was and they didn’t want their style cramped.
And of all the white people I know in support of legalization, I maybe know a tiny handful who’ll even bring up incarceration, and maybe one of them who’ll tie it to race. It’s so profoundly frustrating.
