…the drug war itself has always been more about upholding racist structures and punishing social “deviants” and “undesirables” than actually addressing drug problems — which we know based entirely on the fact that we keep throwing addicts, most often addicts who are also people of color, in prison instead of providing them with treatment and socioeconomic resources.

Why are some drugs legal and other drugs illegal today? It’s not based on any scientific assessment of the relative risks of these drugs - it’s based on who is associated with these drugs. The first anti-opium laws in the 1870s were directed at Chinese immigrants. The first anti-cocaine laws, in the South in the early 1900s, were directed at black men. The first anti-marijuana laws, in the Midwest and the Southwest during the 1910s and 20s, were directed at Mexican migrants and Mexican Americans. Today, Latino and black communities are still subject to wildly disproportionate drug enforcement and sentencing practices

I hate guys that dislike girls who smoke weed
this isn’t 1964, women have changed mentally and physically. We now commit murders, have sex for money, and smoke marijuana. What the fuck is wrong with that? Stop being so fucking sexist. If it’s okay for guys it’s okay for us too.
