Killer Mike it’s all about trees … and we do not mean the Christmas variety.
The rapper, activist and daggamagul from Atlanta joined us on ‘TMZ Live’ and made the case why Black people deserve a big chunk of the cannabis tail.
The way Killer Mike sees it … the popularity of ganja in America is largely built on the backs of black people, and he says they earn at least 25 percent of the industry – profits, licenses, businesses, and so on.
While legalization and decriminalization are still pulling at the state level, one of the criticisms is the lack of access for minorities to make money from a drug that puts so much behind bars. Mike uses prohibition to explain why we make the same mistake twice here.
The killer Mike also presses the elected president Joe Biden to be like Bernie Sanders and promises to decriminalize thanks … and he shares his protest plans for April 20, the unofficial stoner holiday.
It’s pretty enlightening … Mike tells us about his new weed, and why he likes to infect Indicas.
