1968 SPECIAL REPORT: "MARIJUANA"
1968 SPECIAL REPORT: "MARIJUANA"
The 1960s was the decade of the counterculture, which encouraged a revolution of social norms in clothing, music, drugs, dress, sexuality, formalities, and education. Some also describe the decade as one of irresponsible excess, flamboyance, and decay of social order, due to the abundance of drugs.
Cannabis was among one of these drugs that became a symbol of the counterculture and “hippies”, who contributed to this widespread of socially accepted drug use.
In 1964, poets Allen Ginsberg and Ed Sanders founded LeMar (Legalize Marijuana), a group of pro-marijuana activists based in New York City. The organization staged a number of tiny protests with dozens of people marching with signs, including the famous sign “Pot Is Fun.”
The marijuana-rights movement wasn’t significant enough to create much change, though it did create a large culture of cannabis consumers. In the summer of 1967, which became known as “The Summer of Love”, thousands of “hippies” descended into the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco to embrace a higher consciousness and obey the “Turn on, tune in, drop out” message from Timothy Leary, psychologist known for advocating the exploration of the therapeutic potential of psychedelic drugs.
Marijuana also made its way into ‘60s music when songs with lyrics about marijuana played constantly on popular radio stations. Many legendary rock bands of the ’60s were inspired by marijuana and psychedelics, and many legendary bands and musicians are still inspired by marijuana and psychedelics today.
It’s not as fun growing marijuana legally
Crazy it’s still illegal in half of the states and at fed level. But UFC fighting and bungee jumping is 100% legal !!
Anyone here deal with chs yet… just be careful and mindful of your health with daily use of tree
I’ve been smoking weed for 45 years. Wow I didn’t know what I was missing I’ve gotta get me some heroin.:) of course I’m kidding.
huh, considering that Dr. Brill was, basically, The Man, he has a fairly nuanced understanding of cannabis – considering that this is 1969 and all.
Hey Jack" tell me a story, ……….. . … ….
oh I like this one" 😁
I love that girl,,,she’s totally right""been smoken 25years & I’m smoking one watching this,,& I’m going to wake up tomorrow an role up a fat one soon as my eye open
The woman interviewed is before her time. My friends have doen it for years….i had my first joint last night im 50.i was so so relaxed …same again tonight….long stressfull days at work my friend said try weed………..nothing else to say….
Dr henry brille was in denial.
I love weed and Jesus
The girl at college hita 2 good ones weed and acid them spirals intro amfetamines pills and again with heroin. Pill pushers did this to you not weed
I started smoking marijuana because all these old films taught me that was the only way to try heroin 🤷♂️
"…the junk that doctors give…" lady, you ain’t seen nothing YET! wait till big pharma starts paying "doctors" to distribute Oxy!!
I love crack
Things back then we’re worst than today
Watching this in my monchie time after smoke
I don’t know what drug he’s on but it isn’t Marijuana
Test: If you can see the half human/ half cyborg which is my avatar, you’ve mokesayd enough. If don’t believe it’s directly from Nebula NGC-2014 and it’s my face, then mokesay oremay!
She’s fine, the first girl
the man at 18:00 was so fucking faded it puts into perspective how they fucked up these tests, they gave that man a high dose thc oil rather than what everyone else was actually using, ditch weed that looks like dried spinach leaves n seeds. not even in the same universe
Thanks for uploading this piece of weed history, damn we’re people backwards(except the users lol, the chick who works at magazine is way ahead of her time, brilliant woman’!) this video is also horrendously racist, ‘they were using drugs even though they weren’t minorities’
I love the stoned grad student/ research assistant he seemed to be really enjoying himself 🙂
54 years of testing and studies, but the results never are what the government or the medical community wanted. That is exactly why we never hear any negative results. LOL this was fake news before anyone knew what it was. Clearly the war on cannabis was just propaganda.
I like smoking joints 🎉
Take a hit every time he says marijuana
none of the people they showed were on heroin 😭
God were people backwards
50 years later, legalized!!
They lying about herion dude
All of these ppl look stoned! Lol
00:40 50+ years later and i got that exact "PTA Mom/Parent" running her own delivery service and is my delivery driver lmfao, in her 50’s and she’s cool af. This took waaayyy to long to accomplish(legalizing it), i cant begin to explain my frustrations in watching this "Mom Group" put so much effort into removing the plant WITHOUT proper knowledge. They literally just went along with whatever the gov’t was telling them as most did back then. Different times for sure and thankfully people have grown more aware and do factual RESEARCH now, or atleast ask questions about a said topic. I am excited to see it heading toward being fully Federally Legal though which is most likely going to happen in the next 3years or so. STILL, this took way to long….(edit: 5:04 This woman right here was waaayy ahead of her time. SMART af and knew what was really going on without the info even really being out there….she was just Self-Aware coming from her environment. Took alot to be willing to put your face on tv and talk about it like that back then, incredible.)
"Used also to spice salads and in certain desserts"
Lmfao since when did people use weed in salads outside of those weird posh weed meals in new york
Lol scientists gave him pure tch without cbd and call it 3 cigarettes worth like 1 joint is overdose for a person 1 gram is 12 high doses this dude had 35 ish times overdose with alcohol he would be dead loll
Ita delusional, weed isnt bad Why wasn’t there bad press about alcohol it’s much worse?
Wow at least one person got it right in this video. The guy who pointed out that when you are using it to escape it’s a problem is the guy who is right. I was a recreational drug user for quite a few years with no problems. And I used all types of drugs from something as simple as cannabis, mushrooms, mescaline, and LSD up to opium and cocaine. So long as I used them as a celebratory or party type enhancement to my life everything was okay and I had no problem. But the moment I used them as any type of a bandage, crutch, or Escape, I was in big trouble. And it went downhill from there into addiction. It is such a fine line and most people cannot walk it. And those who start using as a bandage or crutch or source of happiness in their life right away are usually the ones who don’t make it out of addiction and end up dying. Remember, just because everything seems okay on the outside doesn’t make it so on the inside with most people.
The question seems already answered within. Is cigarette smoking or alcohol dangerous or harmful in anyway? If marijuana is not dangerous or harmful, what’s the STRESS here all about; does it have to immediately kill everyone that takes it, or run them mad, at first instance, for us to certify it’s harmfulness?
I never would have expected to see such down to earth attitudes from the officials back then. Wow!!
I can’t believe ppl used to hate it it helps with getting rid of my uge to…. Uhhhh… KO myself… Permanently
At 8:00 he said he didn’t know if alcohol was more dangerous, because he drinks. 😆
RIP Doctor Raphael Mechoulam 💚🙏🏻

87% of marijuana users were at some point given applesauce during childhood.
*STOP RAISING MARIJUANAHEADS BY FEEDING THEM APPLESAUCE WHEN THEY’RE YOUNG.*

I smoke marijuana every day. The crime usually begins after the second or third toke. It’s like a demon comes over me, I develop an intense need to be a cereal killer.
