with all our problems as a society we face on a daily basis, that this is such a big deal for you. Oh yeah, it’ll help you forget it all- great. If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem?
Sad? I will tell you what’s sad. Blacks and whites use marijuana at the same rate. Blacks are 4 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession. That’s sad.
