Sorry to hear that. There isn't a singular point, because it's a complex subject. Wish I had the time or patience to explain, but I would implore you to just try learning more. You won't have your hand held through everything, but you now have an idea of where to start, if you truly give a shit. Best of luck friend, I'm excited for you

I'm afraid you misunderstand. I really don't see why you'd sustain such an idea. I'm not saying this is necessarily false, but to say something like that it helps to explain why you feel that way. You are treating this as common knowledge, this makes me think you do not thoroughly know about this subject and are just expressing an unsubstantiated opinion as a fact.

I guess you're talking about the US. Marijuana was made illegal in 1937. Roosevelt was president, I doubt the democrats prohibited it to harm the leftists.

Regarding the black, I really don't see the connection.

Idk why you're bringing up US politics, as if that somehow exists outside of the rest of the world. I specifically didn't treat anything as common knowledge, and instead tried to encourage learning (any at all)

expressing an unsubstantiated opinion as a fact

Ironic

Regarding the black

Wow. Again, best of luck friend

I assumed the person I was talking with is from the US, since he writes about black and leftists.

Where I live black people do have problems, most of them are related to being migrants. I would not say that marijuana being illegal has a strong influence on their life or that it would be a big problem for them. If anything, it provides a job in the black market which may be needed if they're not allowed to work.

I realize now that you're another person rather than the one I first replied to. I don't get the point of your message now. You basically replied that he is right and that I should read but you have no time to explain anything. That is not a very useful reply.

You're a disgrace. May god have mercy on your soul

Edit: good luck!
