Back as late as ‘15, cannabis was illegal in large portions of the US, if not all of it. People, predominantly Black people, would be given heavy multi-decade sentences for distribution of illegal drugs. Since then, cannabis has become legalized in certain states, and yet those people are not free.

When the weed shop looks like an Apple Store, but the people previously vending weed are in prison still, that’s a problem.

    Someone selling drugs has a lot of responsibility. I am sure some of them were really cool and did some work to prevent harm. But sellers usually care a lot about money. Someone getting decades surely did not just sell a little bit?
