Abstract
#Counter-intuititvely, it is #socio-historical, #geographictraits, and
natural conditions which led to marijuana’s #stigmization as drug.
Besides,
its stigmization in U.S. is rather related with racialorign of its
introduction; it was first brought by black slaves and Mexican refugees
fleeing from
Mexico Revolution in 1910. Despite previous prevalence of its
consumption over tobacco, since 1920s the white’s racist fear and ant
sentiments
led to its prohibition. However, since late-2000s scientists began
revealing that marijuana’s defects had been hitherto exaggerated and
that its
harm is even less than that of alcohol-drink. Besides, the racist origin
of marijuana prohibition lately came into light, suppressing any #antimarijuana
stance as a strong ideological tool. As a result, by 2016 more than a
half of Americans consume or have consumed marijuana.
