Morgan said that as recreational marijuana use became more popular, "it was negatively associated with Mexican immigrants."

Hmmmm. I wonder why?

The left specializes in word m*sturbation. This is perhaps one of the most spectacular in its stupidity. But, then again, it’s the left.

Please keep in mind that the guillotine is there to embrace in its power to treat the left as it so very truly deserves.

Oh, by the way, the only correct answer to this latest “demand” is, “F*** NO!”.

All sports are racist, they have either a majority of Whites or a majority of Blacks, hence they all promote stereotypes.
Quick, which race comes first to mind when you see these words: Ice hockey, Basketball.

IDK about Washington, but around here they call it flower or weed. Are those racist too?

It should be marihuana.

Of course, when one’s spells it that way instead of marijuana, Democrat/radical/globalists will call you “old man.”

Calling the word “marijuana” racist is racist.

Making this nonsensical change to all references in laws and ordinances does not come without costs. I’m sure that the cost to make all of these changes could put food into a lot of bellies. Not to mention the climate impact of all of the resources used to make these changes. If only someone would point that out.

Until I read this article, I NEVER associated the term “marijuana” with a race - White, Brown, Black, Yellow, Whatever.

I do associate it with dumbass people who smoke that shit, however!
