Anybody else watch the Marijuana special on the History channel?

yea I saw- sad thats why MJ was made illegal...at one point every drug in the book was legal back then

 

i watched this, along with some other show on drugs while my parents were downstairs, it seemed akward watching it with them

 

yeah ive seen it before.

 

and they banned Opium because Chinese workers were able to perform too efficiently and owned american workers. aint our country great?

 

i saw it, its some boring shit.
Legal or not I'ma be high!

 

Fuck right, the man can tell me to stop smokin', but im'a keep tokin'.

 

.

 

they play that on the history channel all the time they have one for lsd, one for cocaine, and one for ecstacy, and one for opium I think

 

Yea, I've seen it...to me I find it really interesting. They do go against drugs but so what...the information they present is interesting. I liked the ones they did on amphetamines and all...and how heroin was legal and sold at sears and all in like starter kits.

 

Should you ever be confronted, with the temptation of taking that first puff of a marijuana cigarette DONT DO IT!!!!

 

Yeah that vid. has been posted here twice already (once by myself)

good vid though. pretty eye opening

 

Yeah. The anti drug commercials/ads back then are priceless.

" Marijuana will make you go insane and go on a killing spree!"

HAHAHAHA!

 

I remember talking with my English teacher in high school (who was a massive pothead), and according to him, Mary Jane was illegalized along with Alcohol from 1920 to 1933. Of course, there was an uproar about alcohol being illegalized, so they changed it; and according to him, Marijuana would have been legalized too, but it just wasn't as popular back then.

This is just what I've heard, I havent done any research on this.

 

It's interesting to see how peoples attitude to marijuana has changed so much. People hated it for racism, then for health, now for it's social issues. Guess if you tell somebody something enough times they'll believe it.

 

The anti-marijuana arguments keep evolving as their arguments are shot down. This is because there are people invested in keeping marijuana illegal. So while at first their argument was that marijuana caused insanity in the "degenerate" races, it then became that it was just as bad as harder drugs, and now it's that it has no health benefits and is for losers who sit on their couch all day.

Hopefully as time goes on America will open it's eyes. In the mean time, let's hope that grassroots legalization efforts succeed. (A legalization proposition in Nevada failed 46%-54%, the gap is closing).
