Now Al Sharpton is talking about it too ... better late than never ...


Rev. Al Sharpton Calls For More Diversity In White-Dominated Weed Industry

Rev. Al Sharpton says he does not personally consume marijuana, but that’s not stopping him from calling for more black representation in the white-dominated weed industry.

Sharpton also aims to help identify ways people of color can become more involved in the industry where it operates legally, which is growing at a rapid rate and expects to surpass $21 billion in 2020.

In my opinion, smoking marijuana is not a brain killer, body killer, or life killer etc... It's just a temporary mood booster; nothing more and nothing less.There's a reason the government has legalized it is so many states for recreational use; because it's not harmful. As stated in this article , medical cannabis helps to calm people down and significantly reduce anxiety.
