Marijuana in Your Life: A Time Line

My neighbor came over the other day wanting me to give him ideas for a paper he’s writing on marijuana.  His topic was to explain how weed can stimulate the economy.   Since the poor kid is stuck in summer school, I told him we could make an infographic via illustrator instead.  This is what we came up with.  Here’s to hoping a site full of dick jokes can still score a tenth grader a decent grade.

    was prolly midgrade stuff, there was a time when i could get the hook up 120 for an ounce
    fire and popcorn call it shitty all you want but mids is more than reliable and cost efficient
    dro is always great though if you have the money

    You left out “The College Days”: In the late 70′s we’ed (!) split z’s that cost $20.00 and it was better than most stuff these days…Everyone shared, so you could get high for free anytime by wandering down the dorm halls (esp. the all-male dorms) and just sniff out the place to be! If you were a girl- great! Free high! If you were a guy w/weed, you’d get laid! Score for everyone! (I miss college!)

    Marijuana is dangerous. It has 50X more cancer in it than cigarettes, why don’t you hippies put down the bong and read the real studies like on say, a fair and balanced news station, Fox News. Maybe it will inspire you to cut that shit off your head and put on a goddamn tie. Marijuana is illegal because it’s bad for you, if you wasn’t bad for you, then why would it be illegal? You kids need to grow up and get jobs.

      You are pretty stupid if you haven’t any clue how many stereotypes you just used trollboy.
      Get a job? lololololol you’d be pretty surprised who smokes!
      Cancer causing? The only reliable evidence linking pot and cancer is that some rolling papers may be cancer-causing, but the link is still tentative last I read. But weed doesn’t have chemicals to cause cancer, stupidity maybe, cancer no.

      Marijuana isn’t illegal because it is bad for you, you should do some research into when it was first prohibited on a state level. And what the “official” and “unofficial” reasons were.

      Educate yourself, most of what you seem to believe is ignorant bullshit certain people (like you) are too stubborn to re-examine.
      I watch fox news, and I’m not a douche like you. What gives?

      cut that shit off your head and put on a goddam tie?

      I wear a suit and tie to work everyday, i have a well paid stable job and i work hard. i pay all my tax, i have my own house, i eat and drink well. I have a high standard of education, and i have a degree. I also smoke a hell of a lot of weed….not all stoners do nothing?

      And you need to learn what you preach. there is no studies that link cannabis to being cancer causing, especially not x50 worse than cigerettes, thats a completely fictitious figure!

      I guess you arnt terribly happy with your own existance so you are trying to generalise pot smokers as bottom feeding scum, when in fact all the best people i have ever met smoke.

      Grow up buddy :)

    Seriously? Much like I never trust anyone who says “you can trust me” i dont trust any media output that calls ITSELF fair and balanced. That should be proven, not said. If it is fair and balanced however, find me a story with even a slight liberal tilt to it, as opposed to the constant conservatism?

    PS: 50x more cancer in it? Really, so now cancer is a substance which can be ingested, and… caught?

    pookbutt the pot today is over 20 times more potent than in the 70′s and that is fact. Just like anything else things get more technical with time. But the 70′s and 80′s were rad though!!! Peace

    The Government says that it is more powerful than in the 70′s. But not only does the government grow shitty weed, but they also have their own agenda as well as a history of dishonesty when it comes to cannabis. Why trust them? (Or at least why not look at them with a very critical eye. They are playing you.)

      Hey! I’m conservative, & I don’t have a damn thing against weed! (If everyone smoked, we wouldn’t need the “Liberal/Conservative War’ that’s always going on, because people would just live & let live, as long as a person isn’t hurting anyone.) We can differ on politics, but agree on that. (plus, it just makes sense to legalize it from a fiscal point of view. Think how many Billions could be saved in enforcement man hours, & how many Billions could be gathered in taxes to pay for Health care, Medicaid, Poor hungry children & the Homeless problem etc.) That idiot poster (MrRight..etc.. I think it was) doesn’t speak for conservatives, moderates, or Liberals. He/she/ or it just speaks for IGNORANT ASSHOLES EVERYWHERE! (By the way, you just HAD to laugh when they said cigarettes had “CANCER” in them! I LMFAO!!!!!!)

    Fox news is balanced? pffft! There’s been way too many occasions as of lately to where Fox news just makes things up. Try MSNBC or CNN. Marijuana is illegal for all the wrong reasons. Have a google search on Harry J. Anslinger. He’s directly responsible for setting peoples minds when it came to marijuana, he made everything up, not factual at all. Educate yourself, the information is there, you just need to find it.

    mr right….. Have you lost you’re f&*kin’ mind? “If it’s not bad for you why would it be illegal”???? I watch Fox news, and I have conservative beliefs, but that doesn’t mean I have to be an IDIOT! There are a million studies that show a million different results. (Most of them are BOGUS, getting the results that the commissioner of the study wants to support their cause or opinion.) As for hippies, I know tons of people who smoke (Dr.s Lawyers, Nurses, E.R. techs, ETC.) & none of them are HIPPIES! Everyone I know who smokes has a job, is a good neighbor, & looks & acts just like any average person. It is RIDICULOUS to spend BILLIONS to eradicate something that at worst will make you sit & laugh uncontrollably at cartoons, or give you the “munchies”. (& by the way, I was unaware that cigarettes had “CANCER” in them!). I don’t know anybody that would say the stupid sh*t you were spouting, even when they were “HIGH”! Here’s a tip….Learn something before you try to open your mouth again!!!!

    Lots of people smoke weed. People who have high paying jobs smoke weed. I knew people in high school, and frequently some of the ones pulling the highest GPAs were potheads. Also, recently read studies that found evidence showing that despite the fact that marijuana has more carcinogenics than cigarettes, it promoted faster death of pre-cancerous cells, hence the surprisingly low rates of lung cancer among pot smokers.

    Also, it was illegalized back during prohibition. It was demonized, but people were more laid back about keeping it on the DL, so while alcohol found itself relegalized due to public outcry, marijuana did not have the same vocal aggression from the public. Alcohol and cigarettes are bad for you too, you know, but they’re legal.

    first of all, calling any cable news network “fair and balanced” is bullshit, none of them are, especially fox news. secondly, and since you watch fox i’m guessing you are a conservative, conservatives want small government… they want the government to stay out of their business… so do we! what gives you the right to say someone can’t smoke weed. We should start banning things that are bad for people, lets start with fast food, guns kill people so those are out, cigarettes cause cancer, alcohol destroys your liver, throw both of those out the window, candy rots your teeth… i hope you get the point. and prohibition doesn’t work, which is why we had to amend our constitution to make alcohol legal, how fucked up is that? If you legalize, gang activity goes down because you can buy weed in stores, $14-40 billion for the first year of taxes, goes up drastically each year after for about 10 years. it makes me sad to see people who are so uneducated…

    LEGALIZE, REGULATE, EDUCATE!!!!
