 We are experiencing an unprecedented social experience. For more than 6 decades marijuana has been that "devil weed" that politicians and law enforcement love to hate. Literally millions of people have been sanctioned by almost all nations, losing peace of mind and in many cases their liberty as well.

 

However, over those 60 years, law enforcement has realized that it is a waste of time and resources to persecute users. Meanwhile politicians have finally woken up to the fact that the people they represent actually want the right to consume cannabis.

Surprise surprise its not the 60s man and not everyone who smokes dope is cheech and chong. Who knew?

Next you'll be telling me not all people that drink are abusive loud mouths with beer guts who flog their missus.

The stoner stereotype was , unlike  other stereotypes, never based on fact , but was based on government "reefer madness" propaganda.   The origin of such can be traced back to one man "Harry Anslinger"  he surely has a lot to answer for

Yeah, the stoner stereotype peaked in 1982 with Jeff Spicoli, maybe 1994 with Jay & Silent Bob.
