Thread für einige der Highlights des #420day in den USA:
Thomas McDermott, Kandidat für den US-Senat, kifft in einem neuen Wahlwerbespot:
US-Senatsmehrheitsführer Chuck Schumer ruft erneut zur Aufhebung der #Cannabis-Prohibition in den USA auf:
In honor of 4/20 I will tell my favorite weed story.
It's 1998? 99? I'm on tour in Amsterdam. We're playing the Melkweg that night. Obviously, we binge on space cakes that morning.
Except one of us -- me -- really overate. It's showtime, and I am fucking useless.
🌿THREAD It's a good day to remind folks that while the cannabis industry is booming, ~40k people are currently incarcerated for cannabis "offenses."
Did you know that Black Americans are 264% more likely to be arrested for possession, despite similar usage?

As more states decriminalize and legalize cannabis, Black entrepreneurs are again getting shafted. In 2016, of the 15 companies chosen to grow cannabis in Maryland, all 15 companies were white-owned.
So now we have Black people disproportionately arrested and incarcerated for cannabis "offenses" and white people reaping the benefits of decriminalization, legalization, and capitalization. This cycle plays out time and time again. When we talk about white privilege, this is it.
#Happy420! There’s a lot of misconceptions about cannabis in the world, but here’s one central truth: it's a powerful medicine that can help treat what ails the human body. It’s also ... very complicated. Let us guide you through the, er, haze. 1/ wired.trib.al/qy2EZnz
A bit of history: The cannabis plant probably originated in Central Asia, and may have been one of the first plants cultivated by humans. In addition to its psychoactive charms, cannabis gave growers nutritious seeds to eat and useful fibers for rope. 2/ wired.trib.al/qy2EZnz 
The ancient Chinese deity Shennong, or “God Farmer,” recommended that cultivators grow “hemp elixir” to treat the sick. Cannabis has a particularly rich history in India, where it has been used for thousands of years as a spiritual aid. 3/ wired.trib.al/qy2EZnz

Looks like some potheads got mad about this
That's not a problem
Potheads are ideal adversaries, they rarely leave the couch and have trouble stringing coherent thoughts together

"SO YOU'RE SAYING POT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL?!?! WHAT ABOUT THE FAILED DRUG WAR."
No I'm saying that absent a good medical reason you shouldn't use pot regularly
Because it's a bad habit that drains you of ambition
