Cannabis Cowboys: A History of Weed in the Old Wild West...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- After cannabis made its way to New England in 1629, from then until after the Civil War, it became an absolutely vital crop in North America. It played a key role in both colonial times and the country's economic plans. In 1775, people started growing hemp in Kentucky, and big hemp farms popped up in Mississippi, Georgia, California, South Carolina, and Nebraska throughout the 1800s.

Four drunk guys will start a fight. Four stoned guys will start a band 😊
True dat, we did lol, drummer plays for three bands lol
'Love it! 😆
Lol because it's true...
I learned the harmonica while enjoying Turkish Hash. Everybody says I play better after roasting.
Instant Asshole. Just add alcohol. 😢😢😢
Add mushrooms and it’s a jam band 🎉. Not like it happened to me 😮. 😂😂😂. I’m using it for medicine right now. 😊
Love how weed had to be labeled as poisonous but alcohol an actual poison was drank like water.
Hemp was going to replace glass but the oil industry with the plastic era took over on my opinion
Wouldn't it be interesting if cannabis was found to help reverse liver damage?
Pure madness isn't it.
Not much has changed at least until very recently.
Our government is pretty weird 😅
Cannabis Cowboys sounds like a really great punk rock band.
They're a country band
@@rocinanteblues I see that now! Thanks for sharing this information with me and others who may see this. They got a good tune to them.
My old stage name for some experimental punk rock was Captain Cowboy Keith Cannabis!
Theres a slide guitarist I saw once- his line was get stoned on R.B. Stone!
@@maggillaguerrilla830maybe “Blunt Banditos” is still free
I can confirm that Old Mexican weed does indeed increase energy and vigor. I'm 50 and still work like Im 18 after a good bowl of some Oaxaca bud
met a couple tx aggies that were running to Oaxaca and flying back, yep, great weed, circa 1982
Best weed strain from Mexico is sativa Acapulco Gold !
@@mickeymomighty5660 guys returning from the Nam brought thai stick, cali folks had panama red, we trafficed dirt weed from the border, anybody thinks todays weed is better has "recency bias" or lack of experience... i learned alot at 18, USMC, white crosses, peyote buttons, moonshine, cross culture, and all the late nite talks about what was out there all over the world from guys been there done that, never connected w/the horse, glad of that, my addiction to beer overrode it all, a beer ana joint, a rhyme ana new melody... @ 72, its N/A beer and homegrown, fingers swollen and too old for the stage anymore, but by God, " its been quite a party Woodrow"
Oxacan is the best!
@mickeymomighty5660 another good one for sure!
My Great Grandpa Hart had a 2000 acre ranch and he was also the sheriff of his County. He spoke fluent Spanish and would always go around to the Spanish-speaking houses and come back smiling and smelling like peppers.
😂💯
So he was a corrupt POS is what youre saying?
Peppers ?
U mean poop
@darkwingduck5211 Like a bean burrito fart.
Turns into a Pancho Villa documentary.
But isn't it good to know it wasn't just the worm in the mescal. Now we can eat the worm!
Probably lit one up when they started to make it?!

@@MakaylaFalcon b.s. 🐄 💩
@MakaylaFalcon And THIS is why religion is bullshit. It's all based on what some high as a kite dip shit "saw" while he was stoned off his ass.
I enjoyed this, as a kid in the early 1970's in Southern Oregon, living in what people would call the sticks, not very populated. The hippies from CA would come up and plant mj on my elderly neighbors property. To shorten the story the narcs as law enforcement was called then came out pulled the plants up and leave their business card, yes the cops left their business card. They then went to the other end of the property to the house of the elderly couple and asked my 78 year old neighbor and her 96 year old husband if they knew what these plants were. My elderly neighbor could hardly contain herself as she related the conversation. She said she just played dumb saying , "well no sir I sure don't." Then she laughed and told us she knew exactly what it was, " back home in Missouri (where she was born) we called that loco weed". We all had a good laugh.
Note: Also in the 1970's Josephine County,OR made the cover of Time Magazine as the pot growing capital of the US! It was not something to be proud of. We did also have the best County Fair in the state of Oregon at the time.
One of best counties in Oregon I’m from siskiyou
I'm from Williams basically my dad grew up in Williams as well during the 90s 2000s there was a huge bust of all hallucinogens around that time I've heard of multiple school busses buried out in that area that are stacked to the brim with true lsd-25,bricks heroin and hash with the afgani military stamp on it,mdma,etc lmao a lot of people got busted but some where lucky enough to have a warning or here of others getting raided before they did.Crazy stuff
My brother and his friends grew it behind the police station and they never got caught. figured they would never look back there and it worked
@@dowenm-vh7pb ♥️
Oregon has had great dudes for decades and decades now l
Alcohol has caused me nothing but trouble. A couple of years ago I decided to try pot, and now I can’t figure out why I ever drank in the first place 😅
If they can't tax it, they ban it.
If you live in a legal state you can grow your own. No taxes for me.
Just gotta know how to grow your own.
dalepotter6918 that is not exactly true in every state. In Washington state, cannabis is legal to buy, but only is legal to grow if you have a medical card. Otherwise, you can’t grow it, but you can buy it at the pot shop.
@@cruisercrew4816 yes your correct ,I have a Maine Medical Marijuana card .
It was actually the paper milling lobby that demonised cannabis
If it expands your awareness while keeping you healthy they ban it.
If I’m not mistaken, they found cannabis in clay jars, sealed with wax, dated to over 6000 years old. In caves high in the mountains inhabited by the ancient Daoist masters.
Believable
Trying 2 smoke dat shid
I am 64 and smoked it like crazy as a teenager starting at like age of 14 or younger and was raised on a farm in East Tennessee still live on part of that farm 3 1/2 acres left at one time it was 104 acres my dad smoked it one time as well. He told me with a trusted friend and he also said it would come up here and there and in fence rows here and there- Then there was the time the guy that helped milk Our grade a Holstein cows Son grew some in the silage corn !!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That was his first lesson .keep it away from the cows .🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@dalepotter6918 Happy milk!
Here and there huh.😊What you were trying to say was everywhere!
I'm in east Tennessee too

My family started the colonial American cannabis industry in the 1600s. We are swiss, we were asked to bring looms an help establish the industry for sails an clothing an medicine and more. We established in in Pennsylvania an held ownership of almost 4/5ths on the state. We still have our town in Pennsylvania
What’s the town called?
@@user-ru7ep5pt7p dont worry about it
Hemptowndorfville
Pennsylvania is such a good state. Lots of history. I grew up in Easton and never ran out of things to learn.

That cover photo was a photo of Pancho Villa smoking pot along with one of his buddies; allegedly a guy named Ornelas.
My dad first smoked weed in 1940. Some Mexicans turned him on to it when he was leaning how to drive tanks in Texas
There was a time in the late 60's when you could go to the Bay Area and there would be very nice homes in the Sausalito and other upscale areas that each specialized in a distinct Mexican Strain. One house would have bales of Oaxacan, another would have Michoacán, or Sinaloan, Acapulco Gold ect,. Trying samples of these ,going house to house ,was quite an experience. I remember a place in the city called 'Just Desserts' that seemed to draw us in like flies to poop!
The Natives cultivated Hemp way before the 1600's and were some of the most important Stewards of the Cannabis plant.✌
what tribes?
Im not aure how you can mention marijuana being prohibited federally and not mention William Randolph Hearst but solid video nonetheless
Such a great person he was
I got in trouble for telling that story during a tour at the Castle had everyone fired up about Hurst .
What is the story about Hearst ?
My dad told me that when he was in his early teens (1920's) that he got paid to clean out fence rows of it. This was near Maize Kansas. He called it loco weed.
@@richardlawson6668 to this day, Iowa has wild hemp growing in fence rows and ditch areas. First time I saw it, got a little scared, thought I just stumbled onto a grow. Even by accident, dangerous to do in Ozarks
So, the Marlboro man was smoking wacky toebacky!? 🤪
He smoked the "Devils Lettuce"
Back in those days. My bet is yes , 🤣😂🤣😂

My great grandfather was born in 1895 he use to tell me some really good stories about his youth, he said once when he and some friends traveled down into Mexico he said they smoked what he called those left handed cigarettes, too funny. He had and older brother in the Spanish American war and he fought in WWII, he died when I was 16 years old, he was an interesting ole fella, so glad I was able to know him.
You should share those stories to your family members as well.
Im smoking weed being a cowboy right now
Very well done. I often listen to these, but I'm glad I actually watched this one because the images were fantastic, particularly the old medicine bottles. Thank you for a very informative and entertaining seventeen minutes.
Many thanks! It was one of our favorites to put together.
Yes, who knew LILLY who does diabetes / insulin stuff would have sold cannabis ?
Mr. Washington loved sitting on his porch with a fresh pipe of sinsemilla
If I was elected President, that would be the first painting I commission for the White House.
Jefferson did the same.
@@toddstropicals Ill bet Sir Thomas Jefferson grew that fire
There were letters between Jefferson and Washington comparing cannabis quality. The center of Washington's garden was a Maltese cross with a different variety in each spoke.
He actually smoking opium,. It was for pain
Hemp was what sails and ropes where made of, which made it essential to the colonial era. Like a kind of oil equivalent. No hemp, no ships, no colonies. Most hemp came from Russia, as it was a very labour-intensive crop. During the Napoleonic times, the British blocked hemp shipments from Russia to France, which is why Napoleon invaded Russia.
The French also tried to force the colonists in the new world to grow hemp, but it was too much work, so they generally didn't. But down in the southern colonies, where slave labor was legal, hemp production thrived and became one of the main cash crops, as well as raw material for domestic rope and sail production. Again, it was like the oil of its day.
Good read! 🤘 I've done my best to trace the origins of cannabis drug cultivars, an extremely interesting history cannabis has!
I think canvas and burlap also
the labour intensive part is after harvest ,turning hemp fiber into a useful product like rope and even more so, canvas.
Hemp is a weed, grows itself...ditz
@@ezrahopkins1913 Canvas shares the same etymology as cannabis.
Leaves of three, let 'em be...leaves of five, let 'em thrive!
My grampa's grampa, my great great, grew hemp. Granny, grew some really good smoking weed. In her herb garden. She also grew Opium Poppies along with a host of other medicinal herbs like Echinacea. It was legal then. Grand Dad said she grew her stuff in hills of dirt that she mixed with manure and compost(Chicken, Goat, Cow and Pig) and cut down any males. She spaced them about 3 feet apart. Her hubby grew the same strain only planted very thickly like wheat so it wouldn't branch and produce long fibers good for, rope and cloth. Grand Dad said they would smoke it out in the barn and granny always had a couple of pies ready for them. He said it was good stuff. She was born in the 1840's and lived into the late 1930's. I think she died a year or 2 before it was made illegal in 1937.
That sounds like one amazing Granny. Especially having pies ready to go! Great story! 🐇🐇🐇
Pancho Villa hated beer he believed it made people stupid, Pancho Villa actually had a sweet tooth for strawberry or chocolate milkshakes
Pancho was right.

They ruined the weed it's still good but they over trim it taking all the good stuff off leaving what looks good and smells good but hardly gets you high
You can smoke a whole joint then it does not even have any resin on the roach
@@JonnyG0969 that's accurate unfortunately.
Hate to break it to ya, we were smoking weed long before the round eyes got here 😂
You must be really old, Wow😉
@@bryanestes8558 Spanish definitely did not bring marijuana to the americas. That part of the video made me think this is propaganda or revisonist history to favor Europeans, or just yet another doc to discredit African presence in America(BEFORE SPANISH ARRIVAL!) there were blacks here and they were already smoking marijuana. This is the reason behind the strict regulation of the plant. It wasn’t because they didn’t like the plant, it was because they didn’t and still don’t like the people that smoked it.

Hemp for ropes and fibre and hemp for getting high are very different strains
Nowadays.
Cannabis cultivation and selection has been going on for roughly 12,000 years. This means our ancestors specifically selected and bred cannabis varieties for rope, for fuel, and even drugs. The distinction was made long ago. The varieties of cannabis brought to Jamestown and cultivated for its fiber had little to no psychoactive effects and when consumed it was predominantly used as a substitute or additive for tobacco. The wild hemp stands still flourishing in America today are descendants of those cultivars bred for rope, and that is why they wouldn't get you high 200 years ago, nor will they get you high today
@@mrcrunchtimebut , if you don't smoke hemp you wouldn't know that it does fight pain. No it can't " get you high" but fighting pain might be the best part about hemp and after going to great trouble to have cannibis, for me personally I now prefer hemp. I had a stroke, don't like cannibis now. But it in pain rubs, bath bomb , and CBD inhalers work. Can get you though a hard working day
Like a lob-lolly pine and a Southern pine. Sure they are both pine trees, but they ain't the same plant.
We get the word canvas from the Dutch word for cannabis. Used to make sails for the ships.
My great grandmother was born in the 30s. She called it wacky tobaccy or wacky weed. She would partake lol
Marijuana has been used in the Americas since 26 BC with the Mayans, the copper skin natives
You see in all the ol' westerns a cowboy twistin' one up !
I've known a couple of ol timers that would roll em up with only one hand. Strange thing is they all rolled them with their left hand.

My buddy got stoned with Commander Cody - the late, great George Frayne.

Smoke weed EVERYDAY. We'ed be driving weed wearing weed building weed. We'ed have a different world rn if weed was a thing.

You forgot the part where DuPonts products slowly kill us.
With few exceptions I've been smoking weed daily for 50 years. The substance isn't the problem, the laws are.
But then vehicles couldn’t be disposable after a crash (hemp cars are indestructible), and the whole industry built on repairing engines due to gasoline and oil residue gunking up the motor would be severely reduced (hemp bio fuel is so efficient that the engine won’t even show signs of wear or dirt/residue after 100,000 miles, while a gas engine would need repairs by that point even if just a carburetor or oil change)

Currently, where I live, cannabis "dispensaries" are easier to find than a Starbucks.
I live in a place that’s a college town, we have a lil square called the commons where like fifteen years ago before legalization there was like seven head shops there lol some right next to each other
@bobhope4949 that's hilarious!
Here, we have one street running north/south that intersects with an avenue running east/west and a pot shop at each compass point.

Weed has helped me with so many things over 30+yrs of use - but the stigmas, restrictions, and discrimination from people/society (who are probably ok with alcohol) are the only roadblocks ive had in Life. Well now age too.
Yeah I am darn near 70 and I have smoked pot all my life not as much now as in my youth , but still will partake . I agree with your comment , I live in Alabama and we are always twenty years behind the rest of the country and its the same with pot , we can't even get a law passed to use pot for medical purposes .
I live in Massachusetts where weed is legal for both recreational and medical use. I've had an MMJ card for 4 years and it helps with both my anxiety and chronic pain. I'm 60 and have been enjoying the herb since I was 13!
Respect. Glad I stumbled across this video!
At 4:00 i think the poison label was for the 80% alcohol in that tincture 😅
The people are enjoying this plant? Well, we can't have that, can we! 😭 🇦🇺
Don’t forget the old blue/jazz artists going well into the chitlin’ circuit….

Ah, the memories 😅
These laws came about as a result of Congressman William Hearst, DuPont etc, it was taking away profits from them, so call small farmers were living well because they produced merchandise faster, paper, cloth etc, trees take 10-20 years for maturity, Cannabis is 6 months and up.
That business model is still in use to this day in all Western countries.

Once when I was young I worked in a sugar plantation demolishing it for scrap.. I was up on the third floor at lunch when the police came and harvested weed in a field below me.. I watched an officer cut off all the tops and put it in a big bag than into the trunk of his car 😂 Hawaii plants grew way to tall I guess 🤣
no wonder the neighbors thought it was funny when i loved la cucaracha (idk how to spell it) they knew i smoked weed and had no idea what it meant
Thanks. Excellent video!
I didn't use cannabis till I was 80! I needed pain medication; THIS worked!
Currently I am stoned off my ass and I thoroughly enjoyed learning this amount of history about cannabis in the Americas. Had no clue that Pancho Villa was so integral to making cannabis a common part of many of our lives. What makes this special is that I learned a little bit more about my culture today. Arriba!

I can just waltz right into dispensaries and buy it legally here in Arizona. Never thought I would see the day. Been smoking since the mid 1990's when it was illegal. My mom used to tell me to just wait until her generation gets a little older and starts running the country and it will be legalized. She was right. She was a hippy from the 70's.
Someday El Paso will have legal weed, till then I'll just get mine from Cali and grow my own.
It's not legal , it's federally regulated , that's why you have to go to a dispensary . Not to mention the fact that now the government keeps a record of users and you have to pay taxes on it .

In the early '80's I worked with a lot of illegals from Mexico in South Texas. One day Immigration parked a Greyhound style bus at work. As people came to work, They were screened by La Migra. Those with a tan got a free bus ride back to Mexico. Got a new group of trabajadores very quickly. My new trainee lit up a joint at 7 am. "Hey gringo!,Te Gusta?"." Si,Me gusto". Smoked some weed grown way up in the mountains of Chihuahua by Yaqui Indians. It was very good

No matter how desperate they were, I can't understand why people would smoke it as a tobacco substitute back then. It doesn't contain any nicotine so it doesn't seem like it would quite "scratch the itch" for a cowboy who finds himself far from civilization without any smokes and in the midst of a nic fit. 🤠
Fitz Hugh Ludlow, Across The Continent 1870. I have a first edition. Fitz had a sense of humor. The Hasheesh Eater, 1857 he wrote when 20ys old. He touches on MJ.

I own stuff like JC Fremont's 1844 exploratons, Stansbury 1852, Gunnsion 1853?, Van Tramp 1859, S Bowles 1870, Samuel Clement 1869, JH Beadle and Many other authors, explorers.

The hemp grown was strictly for rope, burlap and a cloth. It wouldn't get a tessie fly high.
Found some wild hemp growing in Illinois, we pulled it up and smoked it thinking it was regular Mary Jane, all it did was give us a bad headache.
You’d be surprised what a joint full of fan leaves will do
How would you even know bruh, have you tried smoking the hemp from back then?
