I think the legalization of weed should be considered from a social justice perspective, not as a jobs program. There are certainly sectors of the economy that would be harmed/benefit but overall the prohibition effort is a drain on our people and this is something I think everyone agrees (in this t...

Right...perhaps I mean the Keysian (sic)/capitalism shit we do in the U.S.

I remember being twelves years old with my Dad handing out NORMAL flyers on 6th street in Austin Tx. The movement has come a long way since then and legal weed is something that state after state state seems to want. The feds can ignore the will of these states for only so long. There is no single i...
