that was my thought too...it's always been so let's get it legal...but cannabis has been around for that long too.I dont believe there was any science used to legalize booze. I believe what did it was that everytime a place/club got raided politicians, cops, and high profile business people were rounded up with all the rest and became embarassing... the political will was there to save careers.
In short... too many people were drinking it... that simple... and weed is almost there...
True. And it wasnt illegal until roughly around the time booze became illegal...lolthat was my thought too...it's always been so let's get it legal...but cannabis has been around for that long too.
that's what i heard too.True. And it wasnt illegal until roughly around the time booze became illegal...lol
Ive read a couple history pieces anout why weed was criminalized...
One reason was that cotton and paper producers lobbied to criminalize because hemp was a very competitive product for fabrics and paper and etc... i tend to believe that cause money is a prime mover
Another reason was that it was seen as a racist thing... black people were the predominant users and it was yet another way to persecute them... and protect white women from being raped by stoned crazed black guys... there might be something to the persecution bit, but... probably not as much as was portray by the article...
