With 4/20 coming up, itâs vital to address the war on drugs that has been historically used as a tool of oppression against marginalized groups perpetuating racial inequality and injustice. The history of cannabis has been tinged with racism, targeting specifically African American and Latinx individuals.
Although marijuana has been legalized in 21 states so far, Florida is still not one of them. Mere possession of marijuana and even larger amounts can result in felony charges and even more severe penalties.
So when youâre lighting up tomorrow, have fun and be safe â because getting high shouldnât be a crimeđ
