Course Description
Cannabis policy is an issue of social and racial justice. The origins of cannabis prohibition are directly related to racism against Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities. Moreover, for the last fifty plus years, cannabis has remained a Schedule I narcotic under the federal Controlled Substances Act. In that timeframe, federal, state, and local law enforcement have conducted a \"War on Drugs'', resulting in the arrest and incarceration of thousands of Americans. The data concerning the outcomes of the War on Drugs reveals that communities and individuals of color have borne a disproportionate brunt of the War on Drugs.
