Marijuana and Music: Hip Hop's Role in Healing and Justice
Legalization or decriminalization are steps in the right direction, but those policies only help fix the present and the future, which is good, but they don't do much to fix the past.
Picture this: hip hop beats, a social justice lens, and a deep dive into the history of marijuana. That's what Nyeesha brings to the table in this thought-provoking episode of 'Hip Hop Healing'. She takes us on a journey through the criminalization of marijuana and its profound impact on Black and Hispanic communities. It's not just about the music; it's about understanding how these communities have been affected and what can be done to heal those wounds.

Nyeesha casts an eye on the future of the legal cannabis industry, highlighting the importance of expunging records for those who've been unfairly targeted by past laws. Her perspective is clear: while legalization and decriminalization are steps forward, they don’t erase the injustices of the past.
