Requests:  0 Summary:  "During the Spanish conquests Cortés introduced hemp farming as part of his violent colonial campaign. In secret, locals began cultivating the plant for consumption. It eventually made its way to the United States through the immigrant labor force where it was shared with black laborers. It doesn't take long for American lawmakers to decry cannabis as the vice of 'inferior races.' Enter an era of propaganda designed to feed a moral panic about the dangers of a plant that had been used by humanity for thousands of years. Cannabis was given a schedule I classification, which it shared with drugs like heroin. This opened the door for a so-called "war on drugs" that disproportionately targeted young black men, leaving hundreds of thousands in prison, many for minor infractions. With its roots in "reefer madness" and misleading studies into the effects of cannabis, America's complicated and racialized relationship with marijuana continues to this day."   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 362.29509 BR   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 362.29509 Br Graphic Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.29509 Br   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 362.29509 Br   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 362.29509 Brown Graphic Novel Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 362.29509 BROWN   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 362.29529 Br   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 362.29509 Br   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 362.29509 Br   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 362.29509 Br Graphic Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
