Cynthia Nixon has come under fire for her suggestion that licensing cannabis sales could be a form of reparations for the injustice suffered by the black community.

The 51-year-old has made marijuana legalization a main pillar in her campaign to be the governor of New York state, calling it a social justice issue.

Why don't we give blacks FREE marijuana?

Oh wait. That would lead to more arrests. BAD.

But, that would mean more FREE marijuana! GOOD.

What to do, what to do?

They want to make marijuana legal in NJ. It looks like it might happen.

 Gov Murphy promised he was against it when he ran and guess what? Now he's for it.

I can't imagine any African-American person interested in becoming what amounts to a drug dealer.

Hmm? What's that?
