Now, because I believe radical self-care is nothing without recognition that the personal is political, etc., I want to say that I am very privileged to be in a position to be open about my usage of and advocacy for cannabis, particularly because, despite roughly equal usage rates, Black people are 3.7x more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana. In fact, “Police routinely arrest millions of people just for having marijuana every year. Billions of taxpayer dollars fund these arrests, which disproportionately target Black people.” [source]
My use of this herbal medicine is not something I’ve hid since becoming a solopreneur, and I have been even lucky enough to celebrate it with events like last spring’s High Tea in the Woods. I reject the dated stigmas associated with its usage, and I think that when even goop is selling bongs, it’s pretty clear we need to end mass incarceration. That’s why HWB is donating $1 from each purchase of Kerri Connor’s Wake, Bake & Meditate to the ACLU!
