This 4/20, pls think about the government admitting the war on drugs was smokescreened racism and kept doing it anyway. Think about how in the states where it is legalized, black people still face so many roadblocks in selling it that white people don't.
Weed is good but it's also wrapped up in racism!
@Akatookey In my country, under Duterte, we have senselessly killed 1000s in the guise of a drug war, mostly poor people. Please share this so everyone knows our shame
@plsburydoughboy @Akatookey

@Akatookey The criminal justice system has been coopted by private interests in order to provide a captive workforce for low skill labor. So deeply coded is color to crime that we accept the institutions abandoning practically all rehabilitation programs as the bias affecting the selection criteria self-reinforces in a vicious cycle that encourages recidivism.
