We called it marijuana before it was legal. Marijuana is a term that’s obviously linked to Latin communities. So while it’s illegal, we’re OK with calling it something that’s linked to a community, BUT once it’s legal, suddenly we’re trying to erase that connection. Like it’s too good for that community anymore. It would be less racist to continue calling it marijuana WHILE recognizing the historical racism and celebrating the culture that ensured the plant was still here when it was legalized. Ignoring that contribution is like appropriation. Erasing the Latin influences in marijuana culture once the plant is legal isn’t anti racist.

I feel like it’s more racist to start calling it cannabis once it’s legal.

I know I’ve been told that he was eventually run over. Probably by some grade school teacher.

I’ve switched to frozen vegetables for the same reason. The way I normally cook, it doesn’t make an appreciable difference to me, and I don’t have a crisper that’s filled with a moldy who knows what from however long ago that was.

I’ve gotten blueberries from Costco that went moldy the day after. I’ve never had a serious issue with frozen food going bad
