things were a little different for users of alcohol in the USofA when the 18th amendment went down …as seen here from the Berghoff in Chicago, on ‘New Beers Eve” . Apparently, there was no concern at that time that “children may witness” adults doing ‘adult things’ that are, you know, legal

Way to make them paranoid.

#1 everyone who wanted cannabis already had/has it…. illegality is/was a technicality.
#2 All those existing dopers had jobs, paid taxes, drove cars, rented movies, bought extra munchies… what now will change?
#3 Again, since it was ‘illegal’, most huffers will do so discreetly, old habits die slowly…

During the 70s, our beloved government studied marijuana at UC Med Center, SF, Parnassus branch, choosing this location because of the large pool of chronic stoners in the nearby Haight/Ashbury area….

Unfortunately, the chronics exhibited better pin ball, chess, word associations and table tennis with a buzz-on… and career dopers had tar residues but none of the tissue inflammation found with an equivalent nicotine tar deposit…(zero negative findings)… so the federal G men deep-sixed all the results, making it very hard to find… even the pre-med students had to sign lengthy docs to be in on the study… even the brits challenge that usage causes sterility remains BS…
As for legality, our FUBAR federal G was never intended to infringe on human rights, but to protect and police them, man. God bless Bob Marley, poster child of ganja!

Though, big corporate industry will never let the full legalization on Marijuana pass. It would shut a lot of people out of business with all the things hemp can do. It would give jobs to people, and more importantly there have been small study’s of HEMP being used as a bio fuel for automobiles.

I can’t say for sure how the Federal Government will respond to this, but let’s hope for the best!
