>They are responsible for the cannabis image problem.<

The "war on drugs" is responsible.

LSD was the first target of this "war."

The reason the war was declared was that acid caused one universal reaction with ever soldier they tried it on. Every single one wanted out of the military.

Major problem, since VietNam was taking place then.

The government decided to demonize pot along with LSD.

Anti marijuana laws were, at first, anti-black laws. It was perceived that pot was a black drug. At the time (1920's) that made for good politics.

>Screw hippies.<

You think you will get pot legal without them?
