The GOVT is responsible for bringing crack /coke to north america. Google video Michael Ruppert

Making weed illegal was started as a way to 'control' blacks and hispanics in the southern states. HJ Anslinger used it as his stepping stone to political notoriety.

Another great video to watch if you can get your hands on it is the IMAX flick History of Marijuana.

Inform yourself with FACTS, rumors, myths and heresay hurt the legalization process more than the actual plant itself.

Profitability brought crack/coke to North America.

Agree'd Buzzby

Coke and Crack are here because people are here.
Where there is a buyer there is a seller....
People only provide when there is a want, so the want for coke was here before the coke was.

Its not often that an item can create its own market

You'll never go broke selling something that makes people feel good, even if it's bad for them in the long run.

While true in general, the opposite is true in the case of addictive drugs.

Lets bring this conversation back to marijuana and away from the off-topic drugs, shall we?

In my State, the percentage of minorities is about 1-2%. Thats it. If it wasn't for the military, the ratio would be far lower than that. Given that, it stands to reason that there are very, very few Blacks and Latinos arrested for drugs here.

I agree with the notion that your attitude and lifestyle warrents the attention from law enforcement. If I was walking down the street in my clean, neat, business casual attire, walking like I had a purpose, even if I had a joint or two in my purse, I would not be looked at closer by law enforcement. If I was standing on the street corner with 4-5 of my "homies", dressed like I didn't give a shit about fit or fashion, with no real purpose or function in society, for sure, the police would look closer at my activities and maybe even check me out by asking where I was going or what I am doing there.

Then, while checking me out, for the law enforcement's own protection, frisk me to ensure I had no guns, knives, etc... during the frisk, find a bag of weed, pipe or other paraphernalia, and there you go.

Arrested.

Most white people are discreet in their marijuana activities. IMO.

This might be a stereotypical view of the activities of minorities in America, but then again, I only have what I see in newspapers, television and other media outlets to see what minority activity is like in larger cities like NYC.
