Back when the World was High

has anyone seen addicted the History chANNEL documentary on marijuana? its on youtube and i found it INCREDIBLY informative. I learned things i never knew or realized before.


i dream of a world where marijuana grows EVERYWHERE and where everyone smokes it for recreation.

turns out this world existed before and in the first half of the 20th century.
marijuana would grow in massive feilds as far as the eye could see in nearly any non-arctic region of the globe, and people world over would smoke it for recreation alongside drinking. in europe they had massive smoking parlors, napoleon loved to get high. during prohibition everyone would just smoke weed, and all those old marijuana adds really were truly BEYOND exageration.

this single documentary i feel is enough to show people the gross injustice marijuana culture has been delt over the last century.

I believe I've seen that one.

It said the primary reason for marijuana being criminalized was in effort to stigmatize and deport Mexican immigrants who had been a great labor force during the 1920s but then were a burden during the Great Depression. Marijuana became guise for the United State's persecution for unwanted Mexican immigrants who were now a liability. That was a long time ago, but the U.S. doesn't want to admit this and will keep up the charade till this day due to pride.

Also, the War on Drugs is criticized for costing billions of dollars and over populating jail systems. However, what people do not consider is how much money has been gained over it. People's homes, cars, and money has been seized due to this "war" and all that is profit for the state or police station. Why decriminalize it if you get to auction off people's assets for money? Need less corrupt politicians or more enlightened ones.

The Government is pissed because they haven't found a way to tax it! If they could you better believe it would be like that again! KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

amazing
i've always suspected that, great to here it confirmed.

i think the elders of our society have set us challenge
with legal / social issues, regards ganja

i don't think they r trying to screw us
they r giving us the opportunity to make ourselves great by giving us something
to fight for

life was soooo easy then, and corruption became indemic in no time

the 1920's was the most decadent generation this world has ever seen
guesss what happenned at the end of decade?

u c

good things like ganja and sex for eg make u relaxed, complacent

i bought 15lbs of oranges for $1 today.

a ganja tree is far easier and quicker to grow than an orange tree.

i should therefore be able to buy at least 30lbs of ganja for a dollar.
its just a plant
it grows on its own if u let it.

its all a clever conspircay to get the brave curious kids to work together
and not screw each other at every opportunity like most of the kids on this site do.

if we cannot cooperate with one another and keep inflating the prices to crap like $800 per ounce, then we will never win paradise.

u should be boasting about how little the ganja costs, not how much.
but lots of people see it as status how much they spend
thinking that it has to equate to quality.

the placebo effect is the most powerful drug there is : self delusion



c the sub-prime fallout?
y should exaggerated ganja prices have any other effect?

and inflation is the first sign of corruption and greed.
learn the lesson
or pay the price

Have you ever watched some of the films from that era?Nudity, sex violence....some great films....and then in the thirties, with prohibition, the catholic church got its nose in the business and told its congregation not to watch on pain of mortal sin...coincides with the whole change of attitude on marijuana...History of the Non-Medical Use of Drugs in the United States Marijuana prohibition was, is, and always has been based on misinformation and outright lies...the government suppressed a very early report that said marijuana would NOT drive you insane, and did no actual lasting harm....and supplied their own report.YouTube - Cab Calloway - Reefer Man High Quality The Balboa Theater - Sin in Soft Focus - Paramount Pre-Code YouTube - A "Sweet and Smoking" Production Number from 1934
