Many of the proposals will help many people including black men (if enacted in good ways) - by improving education and mental health services.
I don’t use drugs and don’t love the smell of pot but there is evidence that legalizing pot helps reduce incarceration rates for blacks and whites. I can put up with the smell if it helps people to stay on better paths.
“The data supports that medicinal and recreational marijuana legalization decreases prison rates for Whites and Blacks, but not for Hispanics. Since the prison rate data was collected for all crimes, there could be another crime that increased Hispanic prison rates.”

Pew research shows that Clear majorities of Black Americans favor marijuana legalization, easing of criminal penalties. So if it helps their communities to have more families with parents not in jail for non violent offenses, then I can see the value.

You're going to encourage generations of youth to grow up accepting chronic weed use and they're all going to be stupider, incapable of learning or holding concentration on a subject, and will have uncontrollable emotions.
And that's just weed, the rest of the agenda is just flat out racist.
Kind of like alcohol? Which is legal to consume, but regulated in how and when it is consumed?
