Al Sharpton Says Weed Is The Next ‘Civil Rights Cause’

Rev. Al Sharpton argued that the fight to legalize marijuana is the next civil rights cause in a Thursday op-ed for the Guardian.

Sharpton, an activist and preacher, said it’s crucial to decriminalize marijuana because laws against it have oppressed minorities over the years, making it difficult for them to get good educations and other opportunities.

“It is a civil rights cause that we should not postpone, but accelerate during these dark and difficult times,” Sharpton said. “For Democrats and progressives, the arguments have always been clear: generations of Americans, overwhelmingly people of color, have been imprisoned and starved of access to higher education, housing, and economic opportunities, and stripped of their inalienable right to vote thanks to non-violent acts.”

Pedophilia will be the next “demand” from Sharpton and his subversives.

Legalized pot dramatically increases use. Primarily among young people. Been to Colorado lately? It smells.

Bong for the struggle?

Am I reading that right? Did Al Sharpton just stereotype all blacks as pot smokers?

[ColdOne]

Looks like he did.

Dopes on Dope.

Gotta make that money, right Al?

This guy is a complete embarrassment to humanity.

By coincidence, The Wall Street Journal the other day had an article about milkweed and how it is being grown by some farmers in Vermont. It has historically been seen as an unwanted and unsightly weed but the pods can be used for insulation in jackets which is why it is being deliberately planted by some farmers.

"But resist we much. We must, and we will much... about that... be committed." - Al Sharpton

Kinda hard to argue with that airtight logic.

Despite Legalization, Adolescent Marijuana Use Hits 15-Year Low

Past-month cannabis consumption by 12-to-17-year-olds is down by more than 20 percent since 2002.

~snip~

Adolescent cannabis consumption is even down since 2014, when state-licensed marijuana shops began serving recreational customers in Colorado and Washington.

Don’t get involved with stuff that is illegal — stay out of trouble with the law. I thought a Reverend would understand that.

Sharpton’s endorsement of legal pot may be the strongest reason yet not to legalize it.
