Marijuana is a race-biased harrassment tool

The whole purpose of keeping any amount illegal is so you can have a bright line reason to arrest, try and convict, but also selectively choose not to arrest someone "white and country". Rationale? If you can stack a person with a criminal record, it is easy to deny them a job.

When caught red-handed, even if it was planted, the bright-line rule makes it easy to get the conviction that serves to get around any Civil Rights protections.

I saw this kind of "selective enforcement" back in the 70's when I was in college at Madison's UW, but it was targeted toward people of long hair, the so-called anti-Vietnam protest or hippie culture.
