Even though a lot of these laws are, there are still Racial Disparities when it comes to marijuanarelated arrests. We know it is now legal for personal use in the district. You have to think back before decriminalization, we led arrests in america. It has that stigma attached to it and that has been the problem for africanamericans.

Very similar usage in both aspects of the community. There is a stigma attached. And there are some problems for people that may be interested in getting in the business. It is good. Getting a license is very highly politicized. You have to know people making the laws in the community that you may want to set up that business.
