|  Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way : Marijuana I just noticed that this program is going to be on the History Channel tonight, 8 PM EDT and 12 AM EDT. Might be interesting.

| It was remarkably good! It told the history of marijuana prohibition in America in a very factual way, pointing out the racist, political, bureaucratic, and economic factors behind prohibition. It went into great detail about the scare campaigns cooked up by Harry Anslinger and William Hearst to convince the public that marijuana was "The Destroyer of Youth". It seems like the writers used the material in Jack Herer's The Emperor Wears No Clothes as a basis for the presentation. This is just the kind of thing that the non-smoking public needs to see. The program is part of a series called "Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way". They showed three other segments about various OT drugs last night as well. I watched two of them and they seemed pretty factual as well, but I'm not familiar enough with the effects of these OT drugs to judge: they were presented as being quite dangerous. It could be that the producers take the view of many of us here that marijuana is pretty benign while most other illicit drugs are potentially very dangerous. |

| OT = "Off Topic" Discussions of drugs other than marijuana are considered off-topic for this site. |

| There is a documentary narrated by Woody Harrleson about MJ that is pretty enlightening on its history, how close we came to legalizing it during the Carter Administration, and gave us an idea of what society would be like if it were legal. Cant remember the name of the documentary, but would love to see it again. Maybe someone on here knows and can shed some light. It was on the Independent Film Channel a few months back. |

| everyone should rent the movie "grass" by ron mann it has the same history of marijuana plus pretty funny old black and white comercials brought about by anslinger lies about how pot makes you insane and kill people. you would be amazed at the shit that he came up with and how many people believed it. if im not mistaken the whole anti marijuana thing came about because anslinger hated mexicans, and they are the ones the introduced pot to america. so controling pot was a way to control and deport mexicans. anyway check it out, its pretty good |
