We can’t ignore the fact that marijuana arrests account for a significant amount of drug arrests in the US. Most recently, ~88% were for simply having marijuana. However, there is significant racial bias when it comes to drug arrests. Both are about equal usage rates, but black people are nearly 4 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana. What’s your opinion on the incarceration of minorities with minor possession charges while others are capitalizing on the industry?

That’s cool you support representation. My question was about your opinion when it comes to people—such as yourselves—capitalizing on the industry while this is happening. I personally haven’t seen businesses in the industry addressing this or even make their users aware of this problem, so my question was: what’s your opinion on the gentrification and capitalism of cannabis? How do you think this is affecting the decriminalization of marijuana?
