“ Before it tanks, i give thanks when techs bang on this beat

we need to bring back weed spots, i’m tryna tell ya
it’s not nostalgia, this been my style for a while”

I come from an era where cannabis consumption meant risking one’s freedom. I come from an era where we joked wantonly about whether or not the former President “inhaled” and the only thing being dispensed in the hood was the uneven heavy hand of the law. From praying practitioner to provider, from occasional consumer to straight up buddha heads, pre-legal cannabis was inserted in nearly every aspect of American pop culture.

Now, as we grow further tolerant to the sting of gentrification, former “stop and frisk” hubs of mass incarceration are now tourist fodder and adult disney-fied canna-tourist stops. Until we can openly and truthfully acknowledge the mass incarceration of members of our community, the inequity of access to the cannabis economy and the issues with full state control… I say we need to “bring back weed spots”.

“The so-called jazz hip hop movement
is about bringing jazz back to the streets. It got taken away, made
into some elite, sophisticated music. It’s bringing jazz back where it
belongs.”
