legalizing marijuana is a step forward in reforming our broken criminal justice system. Criminalizing marijuana hasn’t made our communities safer. What it has done is disproportionately impact black and brown communities. There are way too many people who have gone to prison or are currently sitting in prison for marijuana related offenses. The criminalization of marijuana has never been and never will be enforced fairly and it’s time to bring that to an end.

Intentionally include black and brown entrepreneurs in the planning and licensing of new marijuana dispensaries. New jobs and businesses must be created in the communities that have experienced the most disinvestment under Bruce Rauner.

Reinvest in communities hit hardest by the war on drugs and the legacy of mass incarceration.

Sorry, discrimination of any sort sucks, if and when the bidding becomes open for those licenses,then people of EVERY color should get an equitable chance..

This thread devolved into a mess of personal attacks and arguments about Chicago's crime stats. Numerous inappropriate posts have been deleted. The thread is not worth salvaging at this point and is now closed.
