THANK YOU!

The British used Opium in a bad way to try to colonize China or at least force them into one-sided trade deals. And all other sorts of terrible things.

Also in 1937 it was bolstered by the logging industry, but there was restrictions solely on the drug starting in 1906 for the US as a whole

However, New York started as early as 1860! Due to to a string of suicides allegedly due to cannabis (and other things) but also this might’ve been what they were using??

It looks stronk.

Also New York didn’t ban it, they required it to have the label of “Poison”

“A bill introduced in 1880 in the California state legislature was titled 'An act to regulate the sale of opium and other narcotic poisons' and would have forbidden anyone to keep, sell, furnish, or give away any "preparations or mixtures made or prepared from opium, hemp, or other narcotic drugs" without a doctor's prescription at a licensed store. That bill was withdrawn in favor of one specifically aimed at opium, though further bills including hemp-based drugs were introduced in 1885 and in 1889.”

It’s weird that Cali started it!

Anyway, enough of me researching and rambling for no good reason~

Conclusion!

People have many reasons for wanting to ban drugs! Showing only one viewpoint is uncritical at best and dangerous at worst!

Cannabis should not be classified as a Class 1 drug, but should still be regulated until it’s effects have been properly studied.

when i see english speakers say "marijuana"...looks like somebody isn't immune to propaganda
