🌿 The Ford Family, NORML (

Even as President Ford called drug abuse a serious national concern, his own family struggled with substance use. Meanwhile, grassroots advocacy reshaped cannabis policy. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (‪@natlnorml‬ ) founded in 1970, pushed for federal rescheduling and state-level decriminalization. By the mid-1970s, states like Oregon, Alaska, and California began relaxing laws, citing privacy rights and public health evidence. Court rulings and reforms drastically reduced arrests and harsh penalties, marking the start of a new era in cannabis policy—one that emphasized fines over incarceration and personal freedom over fear. Clipped from Episode Two of the Dazed and Confused Podcast. About the Podcast: Dazed and Confused explores the turbulent history of cannabis in the United States—from its criminalization to its medical rebranding and reemergence as a legal commodity. Told across major eras—Era of Madness, War, Medicalization, and Legalization—each episode blends historical archives, AI-narrated storytelling, and cultural analysis to examine the policies, panics, and power struggles that shaped the modern War on Drugs. If you’ve ever wondered how a plant went from pharmacy shelf to felony charge—and now to dispensary counter—this is the story. 🔔 Subscribe for future episodes that mix history, policy, and a little paranoia. 💬 Drop a comment.
