@AdamSerwer @waltshaub @AshaRangappa_ @JamesSurowiecki Marijuana prohibition is a political calculation. Leftists smoked it throughout all the nineteenth century.
@AdamSerwer @waltshaub @AshaRangappa_ @JamesSurowiecki Numerous [mostly] people of color have been housed in human captivity for sometimes up to 30 years for possessing relatively small quantities of marijuana. It's an obvious form of oppression.
@AdamSerwer @waltshaub @AshaRangappa_ @JamesSurowiecki Marijuana is a medicine that's less dangerous than both alcohol and cigarettes.
@AdamSerwer @waltshaub @AshaRangappa_ @JamesSurowiecki The original US economy was built on hemp cultivation. The US was a seafaring, coastal nation and all our rope was made from hemp. Who here still thinks the indigenous were smoking tobacco in their peace pipes?
@AdamSerwer @waltshaub @AshaRangappa_ @JamesSurowiecki @threadreaderapp unroll please. Thank you.
