Indian Hemp Drugs Commission Report

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 102

A comprehensive historical study of cannabis use in British India, republished by Dr. Todd Mikuriya in 1972, documenting traditional cannabis use patterns and contradicting prohibitionist narratives about the plant's dangers.

Sam noted that Mikuriya published this compendium around 1972 after being hired by the federal government around 1968. He held his position for a few years before being removed for being pro-cannabis, at a time when NIDA was staunchly anti-cannabis. Mikuriya predated Dr. Lester Grinspoon in cannabis medicine advocacy.
