The word "Marijuana" is racist

[Pauls' Revere]

https://nowthisnews.com/videos/weed/...oted-in-racism

Apparently, we need to stop saying “marijuana” and this is why. The phrase actually has racist roots, and was used to knock on people of color for their “devilish ways.” While the word itself isn’t inherently racist, it was used derogatorily by American prohibitionists. So, when you used the word, you're ignoring a long history of oppression.

Weed has been consumed by the American elite since the 1840s, it was apparently even sold over the counter as medication to treat plenty of different ailments. The stuff didn’t become controversial until the 1900s when millions of Mexicans migrated to the U.S. following the Mexican revolution.

With them, they brought “marijuana,” which was a phrase popularized by Harry Anslinger, who was the director of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930 to 1962. He believed that marijuana influenced darker skin people to commit murder and other violent crimes. So, he launched a vicious propaganda campaign against marijuana, associating it with "inferior" races and social deviants.

Usually,,
I like to stay active,,, Indica is more for relaxing. (couch lock)

Though I prefer the Indicas for flavor,, but that is highly subjective.

Heads exploding, my friend: exploding craniums.

Don't be angry with them; they know not what they do.

Let God sort them out.

Ok, gay is the new normal, straight people should hide in the closet, white people are all racist, if youre not white then nothing you say can be racist, Santa Claus should be Transgender. Whats next, saying Gravity is $#@!ing racist? What about other obvious standards, like morning time is now racist? How about the sun is the center of our solar system, thats $#@!ing racist too?

No, what they are doing is ACTIVELY DESTROYING NORMALCY. Those are the people that it should be VERY NORMAL to publicy shame and intentionally humiliate. I mean they are doing a fine job of it all by themselves, but seriously, when this is the ONLY thing that people hear, there MUST be a Counterpoint that stands by what has been and what always should be $#@!ing NORMAL.

"sold over the counter as medication to treat plenty of different ailments"?
Wish I could come back to those good old days

[enhanced_deficit]

I dunno... probably status quo and same terminology will continue.
Earlier terms like "Redskins", "White House" were also being called "racist" but lately not much noise about that and since Biden win cancel culture has been bit quiet relatively.

From what I've read, weed became officially "marijuana" (it's Mexican nickname) by .gov, to make it sound more evil to Americans & justify prohibiting hemp.

I have a very old bottle from the 1800's with a "hemp extract" and directions for use on the label.

I went to look at it and I had forgotten that I gave it to my son because he thought it was cool.
