      NORML Retweeted U.S. Surgeon General

      No one is arguing for children to use marijuana recreationally. @Surgeon_General, DYK that in 2017, 659,700 people were arrested for marijuana crimes, overwhelmingly people of color? Criminal records hold people back from achieving their full potential. That's the real harm.https://twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/1098675793868279809 …

      Replying to @NORML

      DYK that in most states that have legalized adult use of marijuana, arrests of people of color have actually increased? Social justice is important to address, but also important we evaluate actual outcomes and not assume legalization automatically = social justice.

      Number of arrests 2-3x the pre-legalization numbers in DC and other places. So from a social justice point of view, there are scores more people of color being arrested than ever before. But because some of them are getting lighter sentences you consider that a net win? 🤷🏾‍♂️

          Cannabis is incredibly more safe than alcohol. Bottom line...

          We should be speaking of the importance of Freedom generally. As well, we should be arresting executives in the corporate opiate concentrate industry.https://www.amazon.com/American-Overdose-Opioid-Tragedy-Three/dp/1549176927 …

          That claim defies logic.

          But not from a substance that is less harmful than alcohol, correct?
