Waiting to Inhale: Cannabis Legalization and the Fight for Racial Justice by Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Tahira Rehmatullah

Legal cannabis has made some people very rich. Meanwhile, the people the War on Drugs hit hardest are still living with it. That’s the gap this book is about.

Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Tahira Rehmatullah tell the stories of people on the front line, the activists and the entrepreneurs fighting back. Then they lay out what fixing it could look like, starting with clearing old convictions.
