text: Definitely wouldn't call legal weed and Jim Crow similar things, but legal weed may end up being incredible for lots of people, both on a medical and on a criminal level. Imagine a future where someone isn't locked for having weed on them? Too many have been imprisoned and had their lives altered over a drug that is likely much less harmful to you than Oxy. I wouldn't diminish the effect we could see as a nation from this.
