And so weed legalization actually...

First of all, it hurts a lot of Black American communities to have this legalized because we know from research that I've done that a lot of Black Americans suffer from health issues as it pertains to, um, the use of weed, as well as, you know, way more than the white counterparts that use weed do.

And also, you know, I don't think there's so much racism as people may think there is when it comes to the legalization of weed.
45:41
Um, I looked up numbers as far as it pertains to not only the use, but arrest records, prison, as it pertains, there's more prison, though, when it comes to the Black American community.

I gotta be honest with that.

And where does the crime concentrate? Again, data says in poor Black communities.
