Episode 78: Mass Incarceration And Weed Apr 19, 2019

Show notes

OH HO HO DEAR LISTENERS its ya fave women back in action talking about the racist war on drugs and how weed legalization needs to come with reparations for black and brown communities most affected by these racist as shit policies! This is by no means a conversation by experts -- we just wanted to make sure we acknowledged all this shit, esp in light of our SEASON OF THE STONER ep coming out 4/20 for only our patreon bbs. We recommend watching 13th, reading Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow, and continuing to watch and remain vigilant as weed becomes legal across the country.
