      My latest story for @TheIntercept is about why I started smoking weed this year, how outrageously difficult it is to buy it legally in New York, and how fundamentally racist the enforcement of these policies are here.https://theintercept.com/2018/05/18/medical-marijuana-new-york-city/ …

      This is the most I've ever related to Bruce Wayne/Batman. I currently have two ruptured discs in my neck. 3 more in my back (have had 4 spinal surgeries). A healed fracture in my shoulder. Two torn, partially healed rotator cuffs. Chronic migraines - maybe from concussions.pic.twitter.com/ScUbTciUJS

      This is me after a brutal car accident in 2003. Black ice on the roads. Went through the windshield face first. Hit the guardrail before I was fully ejected. Threw me back into the car. 400 stitches. Sewed my eyelid back on. Sewed most of my bottom lip back on. It was brutalpic.twitter.com/nabvbzp5pl

          Here is the full story of my car accident in 2003. A full miracle that I survived. Almost a week before I could open my eyes. Cracked and damaged half of my teeth. Pulled tiny bits of glass out of my face shard by shard for over a month.https://medium.com/@ShaunKing/if-you-dont-know-this-story-you-really-don-t-know-me-fab8fcbeff1d …

          That's my neck a few months ago. Those are needles deeply embedded into the discs/nerves injecting pain relief medicine in an attempt to ease my pain. Procedure was excruciating. Only gave me relief for a few days. So my doctor said he wanted me to try cannabis.pic.twitter.com/3eFNQODFnz

          “Black Ice” is an expression laced with subconscious racism. It’s just ice. Adding “black” to it makes it dangerous.

          It’s regular ice. People use the term to promote sympathy. Only hear it used when somebody wrecks/falls. Like it’s normal ice’s evil twin.
