Retro News – A Billion Dollar Industry

POT TV – Newz Reels shared “Special Report: Marijuana – A Billion Dollar Industry (1978)“, a retro multi-part local news investigation on grass.

KMOX St Louis had strong Anchorman vibes, and highlighted hilarious takes on toking, while putting current prohibition in perspective.

From government growers deriding marijuana as medicine, to Jerry Mitchell serving 7 years for $5 worth of weed, how much has changed in over 40 years? How much more time do we need to get it right?

Then and now, marijuana is a naturally occurring plant that is not inherently harmful.
