Why is that such a far fetched concept. There's a reason why as ppl blacks have hypertension and are more likely to get it and it's due to bodies retaining stuff due to long voyages on slaveships.

Seem reasons why Indians might not be able to handle alc.

Did you even read the OP? He isn't saying that black people use marijuana to cope with ptsd or whatever.

African Americans, they were basically users and they basically responded the worst off those drugs just because of their character makeup, their genetics and that. And so basically, what we’re trying to do is we’re trying to do a complete reverse with people not remembering what has happened in the past,” he said

He isn't talking about the reasons why black people use marijuana or other drugs.

Even if this were true, White people will still not own up to their hand in said negative results so why bother making it a topic of discussion?

Oh so we can continue to live abridged lives in comparison to Whites...I gotcha

I can imagine similar conversations when they were determining what the minimum sentences should be for crack vs. cocaine. It’s scary that there are so many ignorant racists involved in forming policy.
when my brother went to university he studied economics and other things and he said one thing they learned was that the fault is not the individuals but the system and specially the system in america like they have more prison time for crack cocaine than cocaine beacusen Poc in poor areas that didnt have as much money used it more than white people in wealthy areas in the 80s American and they wanted to keep Poc locked up :( I think the same apply to us muslims of all colors( european,arab,asian and black) theses days, they locked us up in Guantanamo bay with no evidence and no trials

Tariq Nasheed did a whole podcast on "weed and melanin", years ago. He claimed that black people were affected by weed, differently than others.

That episode was pure bullshyt, and I like Tariq, egot that from an old Jet magazine article

What he failed to realize is that thc(active substance in cannabis) closely resembles melanin, and that is because thc may be used to help protect the plant from harmful sunrays, just like melanin!

This could be why when cannabis is applied to the skin, it has cured skin cancer, and has been shown to protect the skin

What all these people fail to realize is drugs effect whites worse, because they have genes that help cause a high rate of addiction due to dopamine. I think I know why, but its a long explanation. It basically comes from their blue eyes, and lack of ability to absorb certain light from the sun.

Addiction Gene Puts White Females at Risk of Developing Addiction - Drug Addiction Treatment
"In a study of 3,627 volunteers, the researchers found that women of European origin with a mutated version of a gene known as PKNOX2 were almost twice as likely to become substance abusers than those without the variant. However, no such link was found among black people or men"

Study: Whites More Likely to Abuse Drugs Than Blacks | TIME.com
"The study, which was published Monday in the Archives of General Psychiatry, controlled for variables like socioeconomic status because rates of severe drug problems tend to be greater amongst the poor. Despite this, Native American youth fared worst, with 15% having a substance use disorder, compared to 9.2% for people of mixed racial heritage, 9.0% for whites, 7.7% for Hispanics, 5% for African Americans and 3.5% for Asians and Pacific Islanders."

This was how the DEA got formed. Literally.
Harry J. Anslinger - Wikipedia

“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.”

“…the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”

“Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.”

“Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.”

“Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.”
