Today, as we remember the memory and message of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr many of us are enjoying the day off, and perhaps partaking in some cannabis consumption. So the question of the day is, “Did MLK use marijuana”?
While there is not much evidence to support the notion, or credible witnesses, I would have to answer, No. But that does not mean he was not surrounded by the opportunity. Would MLK support cannabis prohibition?
“In any civilized society, it is every citizen’s responsibility to obey just laws. But at the same time, it is every citizen’s responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
~Martin Luther King Jr.
