It used to be that every 50 minutes in Washington State, someone was arrested for cannabis possession. Nine out of 10 of those arrests were people of color, even though more than twice as many white people smoke weed as people of color. Legal weed is a social-justice issue. It’s an incarceration issue. It’s an issue we need to prevent President Trump and his racist henchmen from turning back the clock on. Stop into your neighborhood pot shop and introduce yourself and tell them you’re their neighbor and you support them. And maybe while you’re at it, buy a gift for someone who likes weed.
Abortion rights and LGBTQ rights will also come under attack. President Trump believes there should be “some form of punishment” for women who have abortions, and Vice President Mike Pence believes in conversion therapy for LGBTQ people.
