Are you sure that whites use illicit drugs at a higher rate than blacks? Or are you making the same mistake Time Magazine made and combining drug and alcohol use?

Well, Drug Prohibition is more rigorously enforced so we have that going for us.

and it keeps DAs and police busy. Another gain.

and the jails full. No end of profit there.

and don’t forget the families of the jailed on welfare. Somebody has to administer that. Steady work. And a very nice pension.

Medical Marijuana prohibition is a crime against humanity and a violation of the religious precept – heal the sick.

Actually white Americans use drugs at slightly higher rates than blacks.

On the rest I believe you are correct.

Changes in endocannabinoid levels and/or CB2 receptor expressions have been reported in almost all diseases affecting humans,[34] ranging from cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, liver, kidney, neurodegenerative, psychiatric, bone, skin, autoimmune, lung disorders to pain and cancer. The prevalence of this trend suggests that modulating CB2 receptor activity by either selective CB2 receptor agonists or inverse agonists/antagonists depending on the disease and its progression holds unique therapeutic potential for these pathologies [34]

It is well known to many, although never mentioned, that this is true of many other phenomena, such as crime and murder. Drug use, life expectancy, gun violence, rape, murder, burglary, etc, etc.

Whatever you do, don’t mention it. It would hurt someone’s feelings.
