Far out, Man: Washington State Declares Term 'Marijuana' 'Racist,' Strikes It From State Law

By Mike Miller

Let’s just say that given the mindset of the far-out-left in Washington state, I wouldn’t be surprised if Democrat lawmakers and their left-wing governor were at least half-baked when they passed legislation to remove the term “marijuana” from the text of all state laws because it’s “racist.” C’mon, man— for real?

The term will be replaced with “cannabis.”

I mean, we have “weed,” “pot,” “grass,” “reefer,” and other nicknames that are apparently non-racist — at least for now — so, what’s wrong with “marijuana”?

As reported by KIRO-7 in Seattle, Washington Democrat state Rep. Melanie Morgan, who sponsored the bill, argued that “the term ‘marijuana’ itself is pejorative and racist.” Sure it is. Before long, the list of terms not racist will be exceeded by the number of terms that are racist by a left-wing country mile.

So why “marijuana”? Ready to connect some ridiculous dots? Here we go.

Forget it, Jake.
It's Washington state.

Like California and Oregon, no longer part of "America"...

Maryjane is still okay, right?

somehow I don't think it will be considered racist when it comes to charging someone with withholding the states ounce of flesh from illegal 'not marijuana' sales.

Is burrito, taco, and salsa racist? (along with thousands of other words) Please enlighten me. I wouldn't want to hurt someone's feelings. ... LOL!
