In this eye-opening video, we delve into the tumultuous era of the 1930s when cannabis faced a perfect storm of societal tensions, racial prejudices, and economic upheaval. Once hailed for its potential medical benefits, cannabis found itself demonized amidst the backdrop of racial tensions, the aftermath of the stock market crash, and the end of prohibition.
As alcohol became legal once again, authorities needed a new target to fill the void left by the prohibition era. Cannabis, with its association to marginalized communities and perceived threat to social order, became the prime target. This period also marked the dawn of mass incarceration, with prisons needing to be filled to remain profitable.
Join us as we uncover the disturbing truths behind the criminalization of cannabis in the 1930s and explore its lasting impacts on society, from racial disparities in the criminal justice system to the ongoing struggle for cannabis legalization. Don't miss this journey through history as we shed light on a chapter often overlooked in the cannabis debate. Subscribe and hit the notification bell to stay updated on our latest uploads!
