(AllHipHop News) Snoop Dogg has called on lawmakers in the U.S. to consider a “minority clause” as the country moves towards legalizing marijuana.
The medical use of cannabis is legalized with a doctor’s recommendation in 33 states across America, while recreational use is currently legal in 11 jurisdictions, including California, Washington, and Illinois.
As many states consider the move to legality, rapper Snoop – who is known for his love of cannabis – would like legislation put in place to ensure everyone has access to the drug, so it’s not based on wealth and privilege.
“I think there should be some sort of minority clause, the way that they do in sports with the NBA and the NFL, where they make certain rules where the minority has to get the first dibs,” the star, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., said during a Revolt Summit panel in Los Angeles. “Like, you gotta be somebody of color or somebody from that community to get first in action and then the rest of you motherf##kers with money get action. Because it shouldn’t be based on no money.”
