Make Weed Legal in the UK? History of Weed, Racism and more - W/ Tommy & Jordan | REG Podcast #11

In this podcast we talk about everything to do with weed. We dive into talking about the history of weed and then the progression of it being used as a material and then consumed. I explain the negative racist propaganda that was done to make weed seem like a bad substance. Talking about the specific time periods and people where this went on and how it is still in place today. Not only that, we talk about how weed compares to alcohol in how it affects your body and mind, citing specific statistics related to death by the two substances and how they compare with each other. We then go into talking about what weed actually does and can it be a helpful tool that can benefit your life in so many ways. Or is it an addictive substance that brings little to know value? I loved making this. I found it so fun. I hope you did as well and if you did please consider sharing the podcast as it is one of the only ways the podcast grows :)
