That's always my problem going into a dispensary. I'll see videos playing of old white couples talking about how it helps their pain or anxiety, fun little graphics about strains or methods of partaking, and all I can think about is how many black people had their lives absolutely ruined by something that's now being advertised to me like I'm watching daytime TV.

This is absolutely fact and I also think about how THE USA GOVT fed us all INSANE MADE UP BULLSHIT about cannabis like reefer madness and got everyone so fucking brainwashed by fear that they had the legal power to criminalize it alongside the truly wonderful hemp version. The amount of damage done to our own people/country world/ by this single event in history is absolutely incomprehensible. Everyone should and could have been growing there own God given God made plants to use for almost all there medical agricultural industrial needs and everything else inbetween!

Totally. Magic mushrooms got caught up in this too. Psylocybin has such enormous medicinal potential and we lost decades of valuable research time.
