Nearly dying of alcohol poisoning: it’s ok son just don’t drink too much
Buying a cart of weed to enjoy once every few months: drug addict you’re grounded
That’s how my parents think, one substance nearly killed me and left a permanent gap in my memory that I will never be able to remember and the other makes me raid the pantry once and a while. It’s crazy shit.
I had no idea Marijuana was ever used as a derogatory term, I thought it was just a plant name. As far as the "gateway drug" my guess is that it got demonized right along side heroine and cocaine but was the most available. So rebellious teens tried weed, found out it wasn't anything special, then went on to try the rightfully banned stuff out of curiosity.
Marijuana is really kinda racist tbh also if u did more research actually hemp yes is low thc but in medical marijuana is tend not actually used as the name cannabis is the overall name for planet and also it’s not satvio it’s sativa hun and also marijuana tends to use it as the demonize name of it tbh
This is oppression, pure and simple…
Hemp is the male plant. Marijuana is the female plant. It's one of few species of plants that have two separate sexes to fertilize plants.
Typically people consume the female flower; as where people will use the fibers from the male plant for paper and such.
Marijuana was a racist term to make fun of the Mexicans. Mojta is the Mexican name for Cannabis, and this is where the reference for the pronunciation of Marijuana came from.
Translated Marijuana literally means MaryJane.
You're welcome.
Playing into the racism of the past is just as disgusting as playing into the division of today. You don't necessarily have to play a large role to make things disproportionately worse for everyone than if you had acted with principle and empathy. Thank you, Hearst, for caring so little about your species that literally everyone is worse off because your childish use of your time and resources. Maybe it would've been banned without him, but he 100% tipped the scales towards prohibition.
I took a class on hemp in college. I hate that paper moguls created all this stigma around hemp so that they wouldn’t lose money to a burgeoning hemp industry that makes better paper than tree paper
Not sure if you want to do a part two, it might make you hate some of your favorite politicians.
I never smoked the stuff personally, I probably should because I have all sorts of anxiety and mental health issues, but I don't want to because it's still illegal in my state and I don't want to go to jail for how ever many years just cause I wanted to smoke weed for instance. Plus, there are already thousands of people already in jail for drug offenses anyway.
My parents have started growing hemp on their farm. Since it's taller and woodier, it's harder to process than flax (linen), but it's a great fiber and we can use the same tools for both crops. It's more eco-friendly than cotton and is super versatile.
Yet another reason why people despise conservatives.
How come YouTube just notified me of this…. I'm so angry
Ah "Reefer Madness" the most popular pot comedy movie ever
regarding hemp ethinol possibly having become just as bad as what we do have: there is no ethical consumption under capitalism….but it would be nice to have some alternatives so we could at least spread things around to try and minimize the damage
I lived in Arizona for my whole life until this last year we moved to Tennessee and to see that people legit still talk and think like the dumbasses back in the early 1900s is actually sickening to me
I've never finish a video, I was soaking up information 👍🏽
We need a part 2!!!!! Wow!
My dad who is Sargent in the police force where we live is very pro hemp. He loves hemp gummy bears lol
19:50 this dude gives off heavy "I'm actually retarded" vibes
I feel like the entire prohibition phase was just a huge mistake.
as if i needed more reasons to despise and hate the oil industry.
Just for future reference from someone working in the cannabis industry, cannabis sativa is the scientific name for hemp, cannabis indica is the scientific name for the weed used for smoking or any other form of consumption of THC. Cannabis indica is then further broken down into sativa strains and indica strains, but both are still forms of cannabis indica. Just so you have something better to use than an antiquated and racist term.
I've seen products that advertise that they are made with hemp. I'm wondering if that's really the case.
Part 2, please.
So.. hemp is a multi purpose product. Trees don't have to die to produce paper. Win win. And to think that had those ill informed racists back in the day smoked a joint every once in a while they might have turned into more mellow people, not the scumbags they were.
Triangle mom, ily, but I think a second part to this is necessary. The way you ended this makes it seem like racism is the heart of the issue when its more complicated than that. Ultimately, greed led a collective of powerful men to wield weaponized racism to further their goals. These people weren't stupid, they were intentionally fanning the flames of social tension with bogus claims.
There's undoubtedly a million books you have on your list right now, but you should add "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn. It sounds dry, but I assure you, your jaw will be on the floor for most of the book. Most importantly though, it explains how the war on drugs became what it is today.
It's on audible and I'd be more than happy to gift a copy to you – let me know.
I smoked weed once and literally turned Mexican
I'ma do some dabs and listen to this while I play Minecraft.
I just think about all the taxes the government is losing by not making it legal tbh. Spending 100 dollars/month on good weed and having part of that money being reverted back to society just sounds like a win-win. I'm not a smoker myself and I've never tried it, but I'm 100% pro-legalisation
The misinfo is more recent than you’d expect. i was born in 1998, grew up in the 2000s and yet when I was in health class in elementary school, they would give us these Body Shop Kids papers and I remember one of them listed marijuana as a hallocinogen and we were fed recycled specials from the 80s/90s .
ok, to be honest, i find the name of your shop hilarious.
