This writer and NAACP obviously are smoking pot.
While I can understand their reasoning, the solution is however illogical.

We have seen the delirious and debilitating effect of weed in our neighborhoods and our persona.

Black people's lives have not actually improve under this black president.

Rather than using their energy to breed a Race of crack heads, the insignificant, do-nothing NAACP should fight this administration to see to it that black Race is free from Social, Economic, and Political restraint.

Thank you and well said BG. The NAACP, like other no good leadership in our community are indeed disgraceful. Legalizing pot or any other illicit substance will not improve the quality of life in any Black community.

Competent representation on the other hand is indeed scarce and will improve the quality of life in most any Black community, to make the Black community "free from Social, Economic, and Political restraint".

......and it is a mountain of B.S. to compare the plight of criminal illegal/undocumented immigrants to the vestible of Slavery of U.S. born Black men, women, and/or their siblings.

This is sad. Where is the NAACP from the early years. Why would anyone wanna legalize any substance. Some may need this drug for medicinal purposes, others are just plain drug abusers. I was gonna join the group, now I'm gonna send my money to support the KKK.

P.S. I wouldn't send money to any KKK organization if somebody paid me 10 trillion dollars. It'ts just asinine.

Some choice quotes from the man who started cannabis prohibition
“Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men.”
“the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”
“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.”

America, the land of the free, you can use (yr 2000 deaths)
Tobacco: 435,000
Unhealthy food/Not exercise: 365,000
Alcohol 85,000
Prescription meds: 32,000
A gun: 29,000
But not cannabis: 0

Life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness? Only if it’s a deadly, U.S. approved happiness.
The most dangerous thing about Cannabis is being arrested. In addition to the jail time, loss of employment opportunities & stigma, you can lose your rights to govt. assistance such as student loans, housing etc. Rapists & murderers still qualify though.

Why make such a big fuss over something that by comparison seems harmless? When you look at the numbers and the facts not the rhetoric, it’s hard not to draw the conclusion that prohibition is being used as a tool to disenfranchise people of color.

Disproportionate results of prohibition on people of color:

*Broken families
*Property seizures
*Loss of employment opportunities
*Home/Property devalued (then bought)
*Loss of student loans
*Loss of Housing Assistance
*Wrongful deaths from police raids (do a web search for Trevon Cole)

What does common sense tell you?

It's funny how there was no outcry from illegal immigrants stealing your jobs, your government money, your medical care, thereby threatening your freedom. But when someone starts talking about your WEED, everyone sits up, listens, and is ready to fight! Where the hell are your priorities? Oh, I get it......You're high and you don't give a hoot about a few illegals. Wake up!

The Hypocricy and Treason of no Good President Barack Obama, the Obama Administration, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, the CBC, etc., make it a win win situation for known illegal/undocumented immigrants, known criminals, enemies of the U.S., other Misfits, etc., etc., etc.
