We called it marijuana before it was legal. Marijuana is a term that's obviously linked to Latin communities. So while it's illegal, we're OK with calling it something that's linked to a community, BUT once it's legal, suddenly we're trying to erase that connection. Like it's too good for that community anymore. It would be less racist to continue calling it marijuana WHILE recognizing the historical racism and celebrating the culture that ensured the plant was still here when it was legalized. Ignoring that contribution is like appropriation. Erasing the Latin influences in marijuana culture once the plant is legal isn't anti racist.

I feel like it's more racist to start calling it cannabis once it's legal.

Oddly enough that secondary exodus is probably why this place is so much more positive

It could happen here, had an episode that talked about drone use in the middle east. They interviewed people that talked about how horrifying it was to hear that high pitched whine. I get that drones are having a moment, but that moments been going on for quite a while. It's also not going anywhere anytime soon. There's going to be countermeasures to the countermeasures.

It was designed like that for a reason. There's a lack of one syllable words there, and the ones that are there sound very different. It's also used for messages that require precision that the average person doesn't need in day to day life.

I had a similar thing happen to me. People saw mine, and pretty soon 5-10% of the office had one.

I guess if you deny a country entry into the Olympics based on genocide and apartheid it's antisemitic
