And that's not all, folks.  While these big corporations aggressively push legalization so that they can sell this dangerous drug legally, young black men and women will STILL be sentenced to life as addicts and/or kept in jail for the illegal sale of the drug. Street distribution will continue to be a big draw for many of our young people who can't complete high school because they are addicted. Open-air drug markets will become a mainstay and the violence that stems from illegal drug sales will recur. So, how will the poor and uneducated -- black and white and brown populations --  benefit from the legalization?  NOT.  No additional funding for drug education or treatment. The only option is jail. Wake up, my people.

THIS SAYS IT ALL!!!!!  I know it is a somewhat over simplification of the issues but nonetheless it is a profound statement and it makes a strong point .  .  .
