ltbuilder7 I can see why entering Phish lot, which I love, might carry real worries for anyone non-white. I’m white and have spent a night in jail for weed but understand that black people are still arrested for weed 3-4x as often as whites. The war on drugs has been well-documented to systematically imprison people of color, especially blacks. I love the “light touch” of policing that Phish works on, but think unfair bias exists and makes it harder to feel free if you’re not white.
