Democratic legislators in Washington state prohibiting the use of the word “marijuana” in official law over concerns that it is “racist.”
The state legislature recently passed a bill banning the use of the term and Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee has sign it into law, effective in June.
“The term ‘marijuana’ itself is pejorative and racist,” state Democrat Rep. Melanie Morgan said during testimony about House Bill 1210.
“As recreational marijuana use became more popular, it was negatively associated with Mexican immigrants,” she continued. “Even though it seems simple because it’s just one word, the reality is we’re healing the wrongs that were committed against Black and Brown people around cannabis.” more
How do they even think of this kind of crap?
Wut?
Better start calling it Reefer. LOL

Can you imagine cleaning one of those bastards? No thanks.
If the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word “marijuana” (or any other drug) is Black and Brown people, it’s probably not the word that’s being racist.

We should have never rolled over for all that ‘political correctness’ bilge. It was just censorship and ham handed social engineering.

What the what?!? I associate marijuana with hippies and Jeff Spicoli.
This friggin state…🤦🏼♀️
I honestly do not know 1 black person who uses the term marijuana.
I hear: Weed, Smoke, Shit, Pot,
Honkies use Cannabis, marijuana & medicine & Vape (sometimes)
The ones that call it medicine are ALWAYS FOOKIN STONED
And the Mexican word for it is “MOTA”. Not only are these loser ATTORNEYS not street smart, they are generally pretty fing stupid. Irrelevant.
research a couple of nutjobs named Harry Anslinger and William Randolph Hearst. Hearst hated Mexicans. He renamed yesca as marijuana because it sounded Mexican, therefore scary, to him.
Brad: Don’t clean them. Just put them in a “cat hole” 200 feet from water.
White guilt whitewashing wordz.
Colonizers erasing indigenous language.
Power controlling and dehumanizing the masses.
This is fish in barrel meet shotgun logic.
reefuh man…
So, if I call it Mary Jane, which is a euphemism that was derived from marijuana, would that be sexist AND racist?

Now you understand how I feel when I hear the word oven
If I smoke weed, does that mean I am of a particular color of skin that weed is associated with? Dispensaries that I’ve been to, many senior citizens are there purchasing their medicine. The government is the one who put the bad stigma on weed, paid for by the alcohol industry. Weed has really cut into their profits.
P.S. Very few people of color have I seen at a weed dispensary. The guard with a gun was black.
This is the nuttiest state government of any place I’ve ever lived.
