50 Shades of Green: Legalization of Marijuana

    From the heart of Ohio comes a raw, unfiltered look at a jarring contradiction—the celebration of legal marijuana while thousands remain behind bars for the same substance. Remie tackles this paradox head-on, exposing the troubling reality of Ohio's recreational cannabis legalization that created a thriving new market but offers zero relief to those still suffering from past convictions.

    Drawing from personal experience and conversations with those affected, Remie reveals how legalization without retroactive relief creates two separate worlds: one where cannabis means profit and opportunity, another where it still means destroyed lives and ongoing punishment. The picture becomes even more troubling when examining how Black and lower-income communities, disproportionately targeted during prohibition, now face systematic exclusion from the legal industry through licensing barriers specifically tied to prior convictions.
