The history of cannabis in our country runs deeper than just what we\u2019ve seen in our lifetimes, and that history is full of confusion, racism, and a lot of changing viewpoints. <\/p>\n<p>But why has one plant caused so much controversy, when other substances, like alcohol, have been allowed to grow into multi-billion dollar industries? To understand the present, we have to examine the past, back to a time when Americans projected their fears toward foreigners into cannabis, which lead to the criminalization we are still fighting against today.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s go for a trip down marijuana memory lane, examining its importance for early American settlers, which saw the government embrace the plant, to some two centuries later, when the government saw marijuana as a lynchpin to start the &#8220;war on drugs.&#8221; As you\u2019ll see, sometimes it only takes the wrong person in the White House to dismantle decades of work, and it may serve as a reminder to go out and fight for progress, especially today.<\/p>\n<p>Read the Full Breakdown of this only on MERRY JANE:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/merryjane.com\/culture\/stoned-history-how-us-cannabis-laws-have-changed-over-time<\/p>\n<p>MERRY JANE<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.merryjane.com<\/p>\n<p>Follow MERRY JANE!<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/merryjane<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/instagram.com\/merryjane<br \/>\nTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/merryjane<br \/>\nSnapchat: https:\/\/www.snapchat.com\/add\/merryjanemedia<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to MERRY JANE&#8217;s channel: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/merryjane<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stoned History: Here&#39;s How U.S. Cannabis Laws Have Changed Over Time Subscribe to the MERRY JANE Newsletter for the latest video release and everything cannabis: https:\/\/goo.gl\/Yc7jSN There\u2019s much to keep track of when it comes to America\u2019s relationship with marijuana, especially the developments of the last decade.
