This is absolutely fact and I also think about how THE USA GOVT fed us all INSANE MADE UP BULLSHIT about cannabis like reefer madness and got everyone so fucking brainwashed by fear that they had the legal power to criminalize it alongside the truly wonderful hemp version. The amount of damage done to our own people/country world/ by this single event in history is absolutely incomprehensible. Everyone should and could have been growing there own God given God made plants to use for almost all there medical agricultural industrial needs and everything else inbetween!

Life isn’t fair, the sooner you accept this the less you’ll suffer. Karma takes care of everything in this life or the next. Focus on yourself, be the change you want to see. Make it obvious that love is what fuels you. The only thing to fear is fear itself. Fear constricts opportunities, love expands them.

get caught because police were way less likely to stop, search and arrest them for simple marijuana possession, since they benefited from white and/or wealthy privilege all their life.

There, I fixed it for you :)

That's always my problem going into a dispensary. I'll see videos playing of old white couples talking about how it helps their pain or anxiety, fun little graphics about strains or methods of partaking, and all I can think about is how many black people had their lives absolutely ruined by something that's now being advertised to me like I'm watching daytime TV.

Also, the article is a little misleading. NJ Weedman has been there for years and fought the good fight. I wish these two great business regardless ❤️

Free poverty level housing would not have helped this man very much. He was crippled with addiction and depression, largely from losing his wife and having some hard times in life. Sitting in some old decrepit building wouldn’t have solved any of that, his issue wasn’t being out in the cold.

What he did need was compassion and someone that he might be able to consider a friend. This woman treated him like a human, let him around her kids, took him to get a haircut, and gave him a sense of purpose. She restored his will to live.
