“Arresting people for cannabis — particularly people of color — is the crown jewel for the racist war on drugs and we must pluck it down,” Nixon said at the NYC Cannabis Parade and Rally across from the Union Square Whole Foods.
The “Sex and the City” actress and Democratic challenger to Gov.

Nixon said she’s only smoked weed twice and it “wasn’t for her.”
