Of course, we all knew this. It happens in the U.S as well. I wonder if we can get the anti-drugs/pro war on drugs people to change their mind if we let them know if you support it you are supporting racism/prejudice.

From the article; "Yet, looking at the proportions of people of all ages released unconditionally — meaning a marijuana offence was noted in a police database but the charge not formally laid — there was little difference by skin colour"
