Nas to narrate BET documentary SMOKE: Marijuana + Black America

Variety

The two-hour documentary will examine how marijuana culture has impacted American society and the Black community. “The world has finally begun opening up to the cannabis industry the way I feel it should have years ago,” says rapper Nasir “Nas” Jones, who will also serve as executive producer. “Even still, hate exists in this business for Black people, and that is something that sickens me and should be recognized for its blatant evil. The people that have been locked up for marijuana should not only be freed but receive restitution for the damage done to them by outdated laws. It’s important to spread awareness on this, and that’s why everyone needs to make sure they tune in and watch the documentary ‘SMOKE!’”
