Cannabis and Social Justice

On this episode, Jackie and I discuss cannabis use and social justice. We cover legalization, decriminalization, and the current practices around cannabis use in the U.S. criminal justice system. We also get personal and look at how being white gives cannabis users, like Jackie, privilege that people of color are not afforded.

We explore what it might look like to be an ally both in the movement to legalize and decriminalize cannabis but also in the movement for black lives. Check out some of the resources below to support these causes and educate yourselves further.
