    Have you considered that maybe that’s tyranny as well?

    What if, for example, someone decided to make weed a felony because he couldn’t outright make being black illegal?

        Oh sweet summer child, everyone smokes weed. Cannabis prohibition was about giving police the power to arrest anyone they want to - and they used that power to arrest Black people.

        And if you don’t smoke weed? Well what about this little baggy we “found in your pocket”?

          I really, really, really hate the phrase “Oh sweet summer child”. Is it possible to be any more patronizing? Couldn’t you just say it normally?

            Not that I care about either of you guys or your argument, but I gotta point out that it’s a phrase intended to be insulting and condescending. You’re just letting the other guy know they got to you by writing this.
