    Sadly, communities of color in New York know all too well that this is true, and it's time to do something about it. That's why I'm fighting so hard to pass the Marijuana Justice Act.https://twitter.com/politifact/status/989192558894112768 …

        Ok you just said people of color are the ones breaking the law with marijuana use. Let’s make robbing the corner liquor store ok because we’re not going to catch the criminal anyway and if we did they didn’t men to hurt anyone. Stop placating to your base you don’t mean it

        Robbing/stealing has a clear victim and perpetrator. Personal marijuana use isn't comparable.

        Yes it is how many people are exploited to get you your marijuana? Why do drug dealers Cary guns? Every organized gang sells marijuana, crack cocaine, meth and prescription drugs.

        Assuming all those crazy statements are true, you are actually making an argument for legalization. If it's legally farmed/sold, gangs lose power. People will just go to stores and get it.

        You said if it could be farmed and sold it would hurt gangs, you said you wanted to stop crime marijuana/ opioids both are drugs both are bad. Do you think AR15 type rifles are bad? They are legal any many good people own then who will never hurt anyone. I bet you demonize them

        Working hard to pass a marijuana act? Why don't you work that hard To educate those people and hopefully get them into some kind of a technical school so they can learn a trade And make something of themselves?

        Marijuana is said to relieve stress & pain. So blacks are caught smoking more bc they are trying to relieve the stress & pain the democratic party has forced on them

        Is that because they use more and carry more frequently?

        Blacks, 12.5% of Am Population, are the most criminal, least educated, most dependent on welfare. Black males are 6% of pop. but 50% of prisons. Facts not political correctness. 75-85% of all Black children born out wedlock. Speak the truth Senator! @nytimes @washingtonpostpic.twitter.com/Nf8NRZEGWZ
