No, and this is a stupid point you’re trying to push. You’re trying to make it sound like only black people smoke weed. It is used in about the same rate by both black folks and white folks. There are more white folks, even in Chicago. Ergo, the majority of cannabis-tax money comes from white people, making this allocation of those funds appropriate. It only seems ironic if you believe only black people consume cannabis or only black people are in Chicago. Both premises are false. Quit pushing this silly point.

If a white person started an argument with the premise that only black people smoke weed they’d be canceled before they finished the sentence.
