WHAT's THE PROBLEM?

Black Americans are subject to a disproportionately high arrest rate when it comes to marijuana-related crimes.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

1. racist origins of the criminalization of cannabis

2. over-policing of African Americans and low-income areas

HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO INFORMATION?

Government propaganda combined marijuana’s association with Black Americans and jazz music with anti-cannabis propaganda to create a negative association with all of the above.
