Small footnote offered - The film "Reefer Madness" was released in 1936.
How I know for sure that I live in the Midwest:
Thursday and Friday last week the weather was beautiful, bright blue skys, sun shining, temp ranged from 80-88.
Monday and Tuesday this week gray, overcast, snow and sleet mix, temp ranged from 30-35
Typical middle of April in the Midwest :)
Good correction, but it was the 50’s where it hit the masses and the medical community. Folks didn’t want their white daughters dancing with those black Jazz people smoking the funky weed.
