You used to be able to buy tins of marijuana in drug stores all across this nation. For relief for migranes, nausea and women used it for menstrual cramps. It became illegal from Hearst for the timber trade as he didnt want to compete against hemp. And from the achohol companies when they didnt like that when prohibition was repealed folks were drinking moonshine and smoking pot instead and not buying their product.

As always,,FOLLOW THE $$$

By the way..prohibition was repealed in 1923 Marijuana made illegal in 1937.

This was the FIRST big main stream media propaganda campaign. Back then News was print Newspapers...and Hearst owned them.

Heres some sources. Funny thing is I bet OUTBACK who doesnt like reading is reading this chiat...LOL. grin


Main stream sources including encyclopedia Britannica...you old guys remember those. Getitng sold door to door when we were young.
