Ben and Jerry’s celebrated 4/20 with a call for c*riminal justice reform. They tweeted out a video Saturday stating that people who profit from pot and people who are p*unished for it, don’t tend to look alike.
“Ever notice how most people making $$$ off legalized c*annabis are white? But a disproportionate number of people getting a*rrested for using c*annabis are Black?” the company asked. They also demanded officials begin “making sure legalization doesn’t leave people of color behind and expunging everybody’s c*annabis c*onvictions.”
It’s hard to celebrate 4/20 when so many people of color are still being arrested for pot. We have to do better. Learn more: https://t.co/DPCcqND0SI pic.twitter.com/fLsngGteOF
