“I drank to get drunk but ultimately didn’t like the effect. Not so with grass. It had the opposite effect from alcohol: it made me more tolerant and forgiving. I did a little bit of cocaine in the Eighties, courtesy of John Belushi, but fortunately I didn’t like it. But I smoked marijuana for 50 years and I don’t know where I’d be without it. It opened my mind and now it eases my arthritis. After decades of research I’ve concluded that marijuana should be legal and alcohol illegal.[53]

The true history of our country is much more interesting than the bland, sanitized stuff taught in social studies in our schools. This video is just one example of that. Given that there is little in-depth reporting or analysis in most public school history classes, they are of little worth.
For an example of something that history classes ignore, I give as evidence the three-part TV documentary series entitled “How Booze Made America”, hosted by Mike Rowe. It explains how alcohol (consumption, production, trade, taxes, etc.) was central to events at various stages of our country’s history. Quite informative and entertaining. And certainly not covered in basic history classes.
