This is something that, in the last few years, has been turned into an issue that never existed. It’s never been with us.

No one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana, it’s legal in many states, and criminal records for marijuana possession have led to needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities. And that’s before you address the racial disparities around who suffers the consequences. While white and Black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, Black and brown people are arrested, prosecuted, and convicted at disproportionate rates.

Of course we’re going to feel fed up about the fact that we’re now middle aged.

He appears he may be under the influence, but I don't think he's drunk.
