Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way Marijuana

I don't know how many of you guys have the History Channel, but I just saw a very interesting documentary about our favorite plant.

They're going to be re-airing the episode tonight @ 1am Eastern Time... so that should be about 9pm California time. I hope you get to watch it.

Here's a copy/paste of the description from the THC's web site (no no no... that's THC as in The History Channel... what'd you think? THC as in THC? !):

In a series investigating the history of drug use, we begin our trip tracing the rise of marijuana and synthetic amphetamines. Marijuana, from the Indian hemp plant, has been used worldwide as a source of rope, cloth, and paper; its medicinal qualities were first documented 4,000 years ago in China. But it's best known as the drug of choice of the 1960s. During WWII, US troops were given an estimated 200 million amphetamines to fight drowsiness and battle fatigue, and they're still used to fight depression.

It was very interesting... Congress, those mother fuckers passed a "Marijuana Tax Law"... right? Ok, so check this... You needed "stamps" to trade, transport and/or sell marijuana. So they weren't illegalizing the weed. They just wanted you to pay some taxes for the business you did with weed. Well, the SoBs didn't print out any stamps!!!
So, basically, you coudn't do nothing with MaryJane because you would never get a hold of those stamps! Can you believe that shit?!

I'm going to try and buy a book on the history of the weed... not on growing (I've got enough info here @ Cannabis.com), but on the history. Very interested now. I'm also visiting NORML ( www.norml.org ).

I'm sorry I didn't post this on the "Legal" section of the message boards, but this is the coolest place on these boards... and you guys will enjoy this thread more than the teenage turds over @ 'Sexuality'. LoL

Moderators: If you feel it's better to move this thread, no problem. Where ever it'll be at home

Looking forward to comments on the subject (if any, I know you guys are a bunch of tomato-growing, google-picture-searching, wanna-be growers LoL LoL !!!) ~ducks from emerging flames~

Till soon,
