    1/2 of homicides in Baltimore go unsolved. But the police spend time arresting people for possessing marijuana, which is a waste of limited resources. Moms who lost their kids to murder are asking @MayorPugh50 to end the foolishness. https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-ci-moms-marijuana-arrests-20190220-story.html …pic.twitter.com/Lo6rhx7I5P

        Man some of the cops in this city can’t solve homicides out of fear of incriminating *themselves*. I agree that small amounts of pot are a waste of time, but Baltimore isn’t gonna get better until poor families get more advantageous (as in, exclusive) access to opportunity.

        Because the cops arresting people for possession are also homicide detectives 😐

        Brother, I work at the intake center in Baltimore, you just don’t know how petty the changes are in this city, marijuana isn’t nothing compared to the charges that I see. If y’all only knew

        #TalcomX was all over the Jussie story, until he realized that the descriptions of the suspects as white guys might make him a target.

        With the ruling on asset forfeiture is this likely to change as drug arrests will be less lucrative?

        I defend poor, mainly black, people charged with crimes including murder and weed offenses in Baltimore. And I live here. It’s a bit deeper than this, but agree with the sentiment.

        Yes! It’s not guns or bullets or people shooting guns & bullets causing deaths. Legalize marijuana. 🤔 But won’t loss of 🧠 cells from marijuana lead to more problems...🤫
