    Lawmakers strike the word ‘marijuana’ from all state laws, calling term racist

    OLYMPIA, Wash. — “Pot,” “weed,” “grass,” “Mary Jane,” “flower” — there is no shortage of terms to describe cannabis. However, Washington state is taking one word officially off the table: “marijuana.”

    Legislators recently passed a law that changes every Revised Code of Washington with the word “marijuana.” The change gets rid of the term, swapping it out for the word “cannabis.”

    Supporters say the word “marijuana” has a long history of racism.

    “The term ‘marijuana’ itself is pejorative and racist,” said Washington state Rep. Melanie Morgan during testimony in 2021. Morgan is a Democrat representing the 29th Legislative District and sponsored the bill — House Bill 1210. Morgan discussed the history of the word, which originates from Spanish.

    “As recreational marijuana use became more popular, it was negatively associated with Mexican immigrants,” Morgan said.

    Governor Jay Inslee signed the bill that passed unanimously into law March 11. The changes will take effect in June.

    “Even though it seems simple because it’s just one word, the reality is we’re healing the wrongs that were committed against Black and Brown people around cannabis,” Morgan said.

    Joy Hollingsworth owns Hollingsworth Cannabis Company with her family. The family business includes a pot farm in Shelton. They also run a hemp side, called Hollingsworth Hemp Company, which produces a line of non-THC hemp products, like candles and lotions.

    She says for people of color in the industry, the word “marijuana” comes with a burden.

    “It had been talked about for a long time in our community about how that word demonizes the cannabis plant,” Hollingsworth said.

    Harry Anslinger, the first commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (which later became the Drug Enforcement Administration) played a big role in the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, which banned selling or possessing weed.

    “It was … Anslinger that said and I quote, ‘Marijuana is the most violent causing drug in the history of mankind. And most marijuana users are Negroes, Hispanic, Caribbean, and entertainers. Their satanic music, jazz and swing results from marijuana usage,’” said Morgan during testimony.

    To explain the mentality around weed in the 1930s, several lawmakers referenced the anti-pot propaganda film, “Reefer Madness.”

    “In this startling film, you will see dopesters lure children to destruction,” says a trailer of the film on YouTube. “A new and deadly menace lurking behind closed doors: Marijuana! The burning weed with its roots in hell.”

    “It was used as a racist terminology to lock up Black and brown people,” Morgan said during commentary on the bill in this year.

    Hollingsworth says her mother taught her about the trauma behind the word.

    “She was the one who educated us on the term and how it was derogatory and we shouldn’t use it anymore,” Hollingsworth said. “We have a lot of people, especially in the Black community that went to prison over cannabis for years. That were locked up, separated from their nuclear family, which is huge,” she said.

    “It’s really painful for people to hear that word and it triggers them,” Hollingsworth said.

    A 2020 ACLU report found that nationwide, Black people were still 3.6 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people.

    State Rep. Emily Wicks says the bill changes the conversation around cannabis in Washington.

    “Although we call it a technical fix, I think it does a lot to undo or at least correct in some effort, some of the serious harms around this language,” Wicks said.

    “If you have a group of people saying this word is derogatory, this word is pain, just not something we should use — we need to have a better understanding of listening to folks,” Hollingsworth said. “Just change it and move on,” she said.

    Hollingsworth points out there is a lot more work to do when it comes to equity in the cannabis industry.

    “We’ll take any win right? But we don’t want to get caught up on the performative equity piece where we’re just talking about words and not actual legislation and policy,” Hollingsworth said.

    One change she is hoping to see is a piece of cannabis tax dollars reinvested into communities of color.

    “We will feel like the industry has paid off when we see those funds get put into college scholarships. Maybe a family wanted to buy a home and they were from the Central District of Seattle, and they wanted to go back there because they were priced out. They could get a loan from those funds. Thinking about creative ways to make impactful scalable solutions in our community is what I’m looking for,” Hollingsworth said.

    Lawmakers did establish the “Washington Task Force on Social Equity in Cannabis” in 2020. One change already in the works is to bring more diversity to pot shop owners. Minority applicants for cannabis licenses could receive grants and assistance that help business owners get established.

    Don't you mean "cannabis", you racist bigot ?

    Yeah, that’s a nice historical footnote. So are you going to stop using the word and remind everyone else not to use it, under the threat of cancellation?

    Cocaine was demonized and criminalized with lurid tales of coke-crazed Negroes debauching white women. The same thing was done with opium and Asians. Should we demand that people stop using the words "cocaine" and "opium" because they are "racist", too, now?

    There is absolutely nothing wrong or problematic with calling marijuana "marijuana" (and that some long-dead $#@!s like Harry Anslinger and his gang may have tried to make it "sound evil" - just as was done with "cocaine" and "opium" - to the contrary notwithstanding).

    These shenanigans don't have a damn thing to do with addressing any genuine concern about actually-existing racism. This is about one thing and one thing only - control. This is just (yet) another means of intimidating people into meek submission, out of fear of being branded "racist" if they don't comply.

    This "'marijuana' is racist" shtick is just a bait-and-switch for what they are really after: specifically, they are after more power and more (of other peoples') money.

    In fact, the OP article comes right out and tells us so:

    Hollingsworth points out there is a lot more work to do when it comes to equity in the cannabis industry.

    “We’ll take any win right? But we don’t want to get caught up on the performative equity piece where we’re just talking about words and not actual legislation and policy,” Hollingsworth said.
    And there it is. There's the setup (the bait - or rather, the hook they set once you've taken the bait). If you accede to their bull$#@! because you're afraid of being labelled a "racist", then you have to follow through with more than just that, and go along with all the rest of their scheme, too. In for a penny, in for a pound!

    And here's the payoff (the switch):

I mean, after all, you don't want them to think you might be a "racist", do you? Why, of course not! Not if you're a good and decent person. You are a good and decent person, aren't you? Aren't you? Because if you agree that "'marijuana' is racist", then you must be ... (unless you're a hypocrite as well as a "racist" ...)

    Joy Hollingsworth's "cannabis equity" bull$#@! is not one bit different from Harry Anslinger's "Marijuana Tax Act" bull$#@! - except that the polarities of their modes of self-serving race-baiting are reversed. Other than that, they both reduce to nothing but money-and-power-grabbing schemes.

    How much does it cost to remove one word in exchange for another? IMHO this is a taxpayer ripoff. Sometimes I travel cross country on highways. Some areas have mile markers every 1/10 of a mile. These signs are very specific and only good for that exact spot. It is not like they use individual numbers 0-9 and just arrange them as needed. This is a waste of taxpayer money.

    Notice that there no Negro, Hispanic, or Caribbean characters in Reefer Madness.

    Every character in the movie - including all the criminals, drug dealers, dope fiends, and degenerates - is Caucasian.

    I wonder why Morgan (or any other of those "several lawmakers") doesn't complain about such blatant "whitewashing".

    Normally in such a case, they'd be whinging about the urgent need for "equity in representation to redress past discrimination", or some such thing.

    Strangely, though, it's almost as if their outrage is selective and opportunistically insincere ...

    It is probable that overall drug abuse is discriminatory. Under privileged individuals do not have the financial means to be addicted to their drugs of choice. Some poor addicts must resort to drinking Listerine or snorting airplane glue or paint. Imagine a poor Latino snorting black paint from a paper bag. They not only are subjected to harmful chemicals but also stand the risk of being charged with blackface hate crimes. It is not possible for Hunter Biden to not have white privilege with his drug addictions.

    I'm not arguing any of that- just showing that .gov is pointing a hypocritical finger back at itself.

    Marijuana, and of course hemp, should never have been made illegal. Almost all the gas/fertilizer/crops/earth/climate problems facing the world today, would be solved by hemp.
