Reply #4: I agree, I also believe Marijuana Legalization to be a Civil Rights issue but not just for [View All]

blacks and Latinos.

The idea of throwing people in prison period, regardless of race, for criminalizing what should be an educational, medical, personal privacy issue violates everyone's civil rights; blacks, Latinos and whites even if the minorities receive disproportionate prosecution.

Any adult should have the right to smoke a doobie in the privacy of their own home without the government invading their space, and destroying their family structure; if there is one.

That minister must not have been paying attention to reality or politics, but many of our current and past political leaders have smoked Marijuana and it didn't stunt their development or ambition, but even if it had, it should have been their choice to do so.

Thanks for the thread, Bullet.
