History of Cannabis, Jazz and the War on Drugs with Half Baked History

Hightailing Through History

Join sisters Laurel and Kt with fellow history and cannabis enthusiasts, Nick and Kelsey from Half Baked History! Together for a special 4/20 celebration, they discuss cannabis’s long-term relationship with human beings stretching back 12,000 years! From its early cultivation and use to its spread around the world as medicine (and a good time); from its rise in the jazz scene through its prohibition and the all out war on drugs, cannabis has been through a lot, but it’s been by humanity’s side throughout!
