Okay, so we’re extremely privileged to be living through a wonderful weed renaissance right now, when the uninformed prejudices of society are starting to give way to thousands of years of human history. It really feels good, as a weed aficionado, to have lived long enough to see people waking up, and to watch some of the damage that was inflicted on a harmless plant’s reputation finally be undone.
For what seemed like eons, a lot of perpetually anal prudes had their panties all up in a bunch over not only the Marijuana plant, but the entire Cannabis family of plants (including Hemp). As we’ll learn, this national Dave-Chappelle-grade freakout over weed had some pretty serious consequences on the lives of countless Americans.
