// Definition
The concept that cannabis prohibition functions as a tool of cultural oppression, and that education is the primary defense against it. Informed populations are harder to oppress than uninformed ones, making cannabis education a form of activism.
// From the Episode
Recurring theme throughout Episode 067 that oppression and prohibition go hand in hand. The panel discussed how you 'can't really oppress informed people as easily as you can oppress people that' are uninformed. The federal oppression of cannabis was seen as backfiring as more people became educated. Todd McCormick's Woodstock appearance was framed as fighting this oppression through public advocacy.
