Yeah, DC is actually a city with people living in it and not just that place where old rich white people come to ruin the country or look at monuments like you see on TV all the time. DC's population was actually was over 50% black until 2011. Probably reduced by gentrification, they're trying to boot people out of the hood into Maryland so they can move higher income young hipsters in. I hear about it all the time whenever I'm in the citySteve-0 wrote:

i did not know they didn't want blacks smoking weed in DC . . .

Well, black people were already 8 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession in DC than white people while having similar rates of usage, and being arrested can ruin a career all by itself. Of course they were sick of this shit and given that they're an overwhelmingly significant portion of the population, that helped to get 70% of the city to vote yes to legal weed. Now less people should have criminal records since police can't harass them for it as easily as long as nobody tries to push the limits on this new law.SuperJail Warden wrote:
Legalized marijuana will probably end up hurting blacks and the poor in the long run
