Cannabis Cowboys: A History of Weed in the Old Wild West...

[@ianworley8169]

Just reached retirement age and have smoked weed recreationally since I was 16. I have no interest in alcohol or any other drug. I smoke when I have finished work and seen to all my responsibilities. Nothing beats a joint or two at the end of each day. I've raised a beautiful family. I've been married for 43 years to one woman and never been unemployed. Let no-one say marijuana is only for dead beats and junkies.

[@stephenmason1245]

​@@home96748can we get you to the scientists ASAP the first human ever to age! I'm joking but if your IQ has remained the same you are the first and only human being to do so. Wether you want to believe it or not there are positives and negatives to cannabis use and one of those is the disruption in your neurological pathways to important functions of the brain the two most negatively affected are the Amygdala and the Ventral Striatum that will effect and affect you in small ways that you probably do not notice yourself however if you stopped using cannabis you would actually be able to retrospectively realise you are wrong.

I enjoyed this, as a kid in the early 1970's in Southern Oregon, living in what people would call the sticks, not very populated. The hippies from CA would come up and plant mj on my elderly neighbors property. To shorten the story the narcs as law enforcement was called then came out pulled the plants up and leave their business card, yes the cops left their business card. They then went to the other end of the property to the house of the elderly couple and asked my 78 year old neighbor and her 96 year old husband if they knew what these plants were. My elderly neighbor could hardly contain herself as she related the conversation. She said she just played dumb saying , "well no sir I sure don't." Then she laughed and told us she knew exactly what it was, " back home in Missouri (where she was born) we called that loco weed". We all had a good laugh. Note: Also in the 1970's Josephine County,OR made the cover of Time Magazine as the pot growing capital of the US! It was not something to be proud of. We did also have the best County Fair in the state of Oregon at the time.

It was legal then. Grand Dad said she grew her stuff in hills of dirt that she mixed with manure and compost(Chicken, Goat, Cow and Pig) and cut down any males. She spaced them about 3 feet apart. Her hubby grew the same strain only planted very thickly like wheat so it wouldn't branch and produce long fibers good for, rope and cloth. Grand Dad said they would smoke it out in the barn and granny always had a couple of pies ready for them. He said it was good stuff. She was born in the 1840's and lived into the late 1930's. I think she died a year or 2 before it was made illegal in 1937.

Hemp was what sails and ropes where made of, which made it essential to the colonial era. Like a kind of oil equivalent. No hemp, no ships, no colonies. Most hemp came from Russia, as it was a very labour-intensive crop. During the Napoleonic times, the British blocked hemp shipments from Russia to France, which is why Napoleon invaded Russia. The French also tried to force the colonists in the new world to grow hemp, but it was too much work, so they generally didn't. But down in the southern colonies, where slave labor was legal, hemp production thrived and became one of the main cash crops, as well as raw material for domestic rope and sail production. Again, it was like the oil of its day.

Hemp for ropes and fibre and hemp for getting high are very different strains

[@mjazzguitar]

Nowadays.

[@mrcrunchtime]

Cannabis cultivation and selection has been going on for roughly 12,000 years. This means our ancestors specifically selected and bred cannabis varieties for rope, for fuel, and even drugs. The distinction was made long ago. The varieties of cannabis brought to Jamestown and cultivated for its fiber had little to no psychoactive effects and when consumed it was predominantly used as a substitute or additive for tobacco. The wild hemp stands still flourishing in America today are descendants of those cultivars bred for rope, and that is why they wouldn't get you high 200 years ago, nor will they get you high today

[@Rachel-gt3fd]

​@@mrcrunchtimebut , if you don't smoke hemp you wouldn't know that it does fight pain. No it can't " get you high" but fighting pain might be the best part about hemp and after going to great trouble to have cannibis, for me personally I now prefer hemp. I had a stroke, don't like cannibis now. But it in pain rubs, bath bomb , and CBD inhalers work. Can get you though a hard working day

[@dinahcharles6030]

Ford and Carver created a car using Weed. During a war most steel was being used for the military, Ford was exploring other ways to make cars. Homes are built out of it, many kinds of oils made from it. Presidents farmed it and sails were made from it. I think the paper, lumber, oil companies ensured that the plant was made illegal , Cloths are made out of it and thousands of other things … research the plant. The CBD part can stop seizures better than some big pharma drugs and relive stress and anxiety safer than some psych meds. At one time in history our government poisoned alcohol killing thousands to encourage people not to drink, they also sprayed poison on weed crops too from the US to Mexico…research it…

But then vehicles couldn’t be disposable after a crash (hemp cars are indestructible), and the whole industry built on repairing engines due to gasoline and oil residue gunking up the motor would be severely reduced (hemp bio fuel is so efficient that the engine won’t even show signs of wear or dirt/residue after 100,000 miles, while a gas engine would need repairs by that point even if just a carburetor or oil change)

That part of the video made me think this is propaganda or revisonist history to favor Europeans, or just yet another doc to discredit African presence in America(BEFORE SPANISH ARRIVAL!) there were blacks here and they were already smoking marijuana. This is the reason behind the strict regulation of the plant. It wasn’t because they didn’t like the plant, it was because they didn’t and still don’t like the people that smoked it.

The way this is written, hemp & cannabis are used almost interchangeably. It would be good to do a re- edit & actually say which was which in each context. Growing hemp for fiber & growing cannabis for the cannabinols are 2 different things, for sure.

Before I crossed over into cannabis publishing, I was a documentarian and research writer for television in Los Angeles. This is beautifully done, thank you so much. Curious about the use of the word stoned. When you said stoned drunk, does that infer the combination? From my research I’ve said for years the word stoned was from the alcohol culture and has nothing to do with a descriptor concerning cannabis. High better describes the elevated feeling. Thanks for filling in my blanks.
