When the system of mass incarceration collapses (and if history is any guide, it will), historians will undoubtedly look back and marvel that such an extraordinarily comprehensive system of racialized social control existed in the United States. How fascinating, they will likely say, that a drug war was waged almost exclusively against poor people of color—people already trapped in ghettos that lacked jobs and decent schools. They were rounded up by the millions, packed away in prisons, and when released, they were stigmatized for life, denied the right to vote, and ushered into a world of discrimination. Legally barred from employment, housing, and welfare benefits—and saddled with thousands of dollars of debt—these people were shamed and condemned for failing to hold together their families. They were chastised for succumbing to depression and anger, and blamed for landing back in prison. Historians will likely wonder how we could describe the new caste system as a system of crime control, when it is difficult to imagine a system better designed to create—rather than prevent—crime.

Imagine, if you will, the United States government waging an 80+ year war on a plant that is safer than alcohol, tobacco, and opioids, and the government knowing it was a relatively safe drug the entire time. Now, imagine the millions of lives destroyed, families ripped apart, and deaths caused by the decades-long criminalization of a plant directly responsible for exactly zero deaths. Finally, and please make sure you’re sitting down for this… imagine the fact that our government has known this entire time that marijuana is not the violence-inducing, deadly drug that some of our most embarrassing and fraudulent forefathers have led many to believe.... While this might seem like a huge mess right now, our take is that this may very well lead to nationwide legalization happening even quicker than we ever expected.  Check out the rest of this blog at www.SecularByNature.com! #marijuana #promarijuana #drugwar #WarOnDrugs #FailedDrugWar #lockhimup #JeffSessions #perjury #government #politics #cannabis #USA #POTUS #AttorneyGeneral #KeeblerElf #RonaldReagan #JustSayNo #DARE #BernieSanders #Denver #Colorado #Seattle #SCOTUS #UnitedStates #MedicalMarijuana
