Huh? Nothin for nothin they enjoy smoking it !

The years I worked as a grower, most diverse workplace I've ever had.

“People of color” = Term concocted by racist groups who engage in identity politics and fake grievances

Ya. No shit. I like chance the rappers comment. Release pot offenders in jail before companies cash in. endmassincarceration.

LegalizeMarijuanaEverywhere

People of MA said 'make it legal,' so the pols in MA decided the way to fulfill that mandate was to say 'let's make this really difficult for anyone to do if they don't have at least $1 million in CASH to get rolling, & let's let every single town decide of they want it or not.'

Employees? They should be offered management. They should be callin the shots. They should be getting investments/financial backing for their own shops. They should be the owners!

More of NPR trying to divide people,everyone is a victim,what a non story that is hate speech.

Yeah, so that’s why we should decriminalize, then pardon every non-violent offender, and give the guys who were in there for a grow house compensatory start-up cash, 30 acres, and

Way to make everything about race.

You can thank Bill Clinton and the Democrats for this

I Don’t Believe

Uh because there are hundreds of thousands of people of color in jail for years for having less than an ounce of weed. This is not new or shocking information.

Trust issues.

'were targeted'? Past tense?

More victimization. Its a legal business. You want in? Nothing is stopping you.

It's safe now that Jeff Sessions is no longer AG. You guys can come out now.

Maybe release those who have been charged from Jail, absolve their criminal record, and that will change.
