There's an interesting story line behind how pot became illegal and the hysteria behind it, it's worth reading."


Cotton Farmers in the early 1900's felt threatened by the Hemp Fiber Industry. Same with Large Newspapers and Oil Industry.

A guy patented a super-efficient Hemp Processing machine and fiber source......he and his machine went missing.

in 1936, a church group were behind financing and promoting the propaganda film "Reefer Madness" .

To All - Discuss the History and Big Business Business interference, without it degrading into all about getting high and stoners from highschool or other social problems like opiods or booze.

Wow, that is a very interesting story, I never thought about it, but it's very exciting. I never smoked weed; for some reason, it didn't interest me. But then I started migraines, painkillers did not help me at all, and my head hurt just crazy. Then I decided to contact a doctor I knew, who advised me to visit canada weed online. Where can I buy a good herb and use it for medicinal purposes. After I began to smoke this weed, my head almost didn't hurt, and my general well-being improved.
