We Can Thank Paranoid Richard Nixon For All This Bs.

[greenbuddha]

This is one man that should never have bee elected president.

 

Dicky is the guy that started the War on Drugs... and it became such a money maker for certain 'enforcement' groups that we may NEVER get rid of it.

 

And you can bet WE will keep on paying for it... in one way or another.

while id never defend nixon, the "seed was planted" years before he was president. Harry J Anslinger was the beast that started this insanity.

Best documentary ever for explaining how people in this country are so screwed up concerning this medicinal herb was the one narrated by Woody Harrelson.

You guys get the name, link, whatever. Every person who is anti-MJ needs to see this. Heck, so should everyone else, period. Not only does it show the lies and distortions portrayed about MJ but is also shows, if there was ever any doubt, the lengths our government will do to control you...

Woody Harrelson narrates this documentary about the history of marijuana in 20th century America. Beginning with clips from educational films and exploitation pictures that show how marijuana can lead to crime, insanity, and harder drugs, Grass also documents the exploits of Harry Anslinger, who became America's first drug czar and waged a lifelong war against marijuana use in the United States. As the repressive environment of the 1930s and 1940s gave way to the beat era of the 1950s and the hippie uprisings of the 1960s, attitudes towards marijuana became more lenient, and several states relaxed their laws regarding the drug; but the election of Ronald Reagan, and his wife Nancy's famous "Just Say No" campaign, put many pro-pot activists back in the starting blocks. Director Ron Mann takes a decidedly pro-marijuana position in this film, though he does so with more humor than militance (the end credits note "No hippies were harmed in the making of this film"). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Ganja, it was started 'long' ago... but Nixon was the guy that made it 'profitable' for law enforcement agencies to make a 'living' out of enforcing the 'war on Drugs'.

 

All at the expense of the poor, the minorities, college kids and anyone else that wanted an alternative to alcohol and the other 'killer' drugs.

 

Now over half of the arrests made EVERY year are marijuana related.

 

Makes no sense... EXCEPT for those making money off of it.

that movie was pretty good. I had not seen it before. I wonder why they did not mention William Hurst and his part in demonizing cannabis because of the thread to his logging and paper business?

I hated Nixon. I hold him personally responsible for the deaths of 2 freinds in Viet Nam.
