> Logsdon maintains that she doesn’t think the county should reduce its penalties for marijuana possession, something state statutes allow for, because the drug is still illegal.
> During the board meeting Thursday she also said that she thinks reducing the penalty would harm the county’s Black residents, hurting the county’s chance of achieving its stated racial equity goals, by encouraging marijuana use and hurting their job prospects because of the potential for drug tests.
This sounds racist AF, I mean she's basically saying because there's no penalty more Black people will get high because they're Black... Like that's all they do or something.
Also I don't see why drug use if you're still able to work should be a problem.
I think a criminal record would do way now damage to the black community(it already has by many studies) and decriminalizing cannabis just makes sense.
Biden needs to decriminalize if not fully legalize and take it if schedule 2.
