Connecticut is moving ahead with an initiative to prioritize black and brown communities in the distribution of business licenses for recreational marijuana, which state leaders say will help remedy historic injustices.
Governor Ned Lamont, a Democrat, on Thursday convened the first meeting of the state’s Social Equity Council, which will help decide who can take part in the bonanza of legal weed.
Connecticut last month became the 19th state to legalize recreational marijuana, with sales set to begin next July, and the new law mandates steps to prioritize communities that were hardest hit by the war on drugs.
Why are blacks given advantages over every other race ? I’d rather see Hispanic’s get advantages being we are having an influx of immigrants
White liberal savior complex
Systemic racism right here folks!
The systemic racism is how more often black people are arrested and imprisoned for weed possession. Most cops just turn the other way when it’s a white person.
And you have the documents to back that statement up??
just give every black person one of the licenses that would be more fair to them! then they can start killing each other over who has the rights to sell it! problem solved!
