‘Marijuana: A Chronic History’ is a documentary film by History channel, that charts the turbulent and strange history of Marijuana in America.

It is a pro-Cannabis film attempting to educate people who still think that prohibition on Cannabis is reasonable and have no idea that widespread cannabis use is relatively harmless compared to alcohol, tobacco, and especially pharmaceutical and other drugs.

The battle against drug-use in America has been going on since a long time but the term War on Drugs became a part of our national dialog in as late as 1970 when it was first used by President Richard Nixon, who later formed the DEA and started a push to outlaw drugs of all kinds.
