The politicization of cannabis legalization
The pro-legalization of cannabis nationwide is gathering momentum.That is great. What is not-so-great is the left wing politics that are permeating the movement. Specifically in this case racism. Race is a bad indicator to go on because not every black or brown person is cited for marijuana possession. Not only that but Caucasians,specifically men who are cited,will go uncounted due to race and especially gender. The best way the powers that be can make this up is to expunge convictions and overturn ridiculous judgements (being barred from the marijuana industry by judges due to prohibition and other ridiculous conditions.) Regardless of race and/or gender. Also allow market forces dictate the supply and demand when it comes to cannabis,ease up on taxing it to death.
