Thanks for the idea, Mael! I'll start the discussion.
Most people don't know that Marijuana criminalization was federally instituted in 1938, roughly towards the end of alcohal prohibition. Some of the elders in our society can still remember when pot was legal. What I find amusing is the fact that many of the same problems Alcohal Prohibition can be found today in Marijuana Prohibition, such as the creation of a gigantic black market, and an exorbenant amount of our hard earned tax dollars are wasted fighting it.
In the fifties, citizens were subject to propaganda such as this
Reefer madness is a movie that implied that Marijuana turned people violent and insane, and that it was a worse drug even then heroin. Today, we know how ludicrous that is. What do you think we'll know about modern American marijuana propaganda in the future?
