Visit the Cannabis Museum in Athens, Ohio for the opening of their exhibit, “Cannabis Americana pt. 2, Reefer Madness: Propaganda & Prohibition” on June 21st!

The exhibit will pick up the same story from part 1: “The Golden Age of Cannabis Medicine & The End of the Hempire,” with the regulation that lead to the end of accessible Cannabis for agriculture and medicine with the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. This history will cover the sensational propaganda that frightened generations of Americans from the “Devil’s Harvest.” It will also explore the movers and shakers behind the prohibition of Cannabis and their motives.

Stay tuned for updates!

This exhibit was supported in part by an Ohio Humanities Spark Grant.
