The Real Reason Cannabis is Illegal (with a timeline until 1996 because I got way sidetracked)

from Hi, America! · host DestynieLynnx3

So this was supposed to be WHY weed is actually illegal, we can see it had to do with racism, fear, possibly money, there were a lot of different contributing factors, but it's very clear that Harry Andlinger definitely made things worse, and I really think the main reason weed was made illegal was him. I know I did misspeak a few times, I think I said made something legal instead of illegal at around 14:40ish, my apologies I can't edit well enough at this point to fix it but I will work on that. I'm also adding my personal discord to this so it will in fact be attached to the podcast https://discord.gg/8sz5cEc I look forward to seeing everyone next week when we get into something new and hopefully we will have a cohost! We will see! <3
