The political tide had turned in the late 1970s in the USA as rapid growth of the paraphernalia industry and steep increases in marijuana experimentation by younger-aged children gave rise to what would become a powerful “parents movement” that opposed any tolerance of illicit drug use. The 1980s witnessed a retrenchment in the momentum in a number of states to reduce marijuana possession penalties, mandatory drug testing became more common, and liberalized policies were promulgated only with reference to marijuana’s use for medical purposes.
Also in the mid-1800s, an American writer by the name of Fitz Hugh Ludlow published an autobiography titled, The Hasheesh Eater: Being Passages from the Life of a Pythagorean. Ludlow described his youth as having been spent in a constant state of cannabis intoxication, and noted that he eventually became psychologically dependent on the drug. He wrote of the lessons learned from hashish use, including terrifying hallucinogenic experiences that led to shortlived vows to abstain. He concluded, however, that society ought not to judge those who seek self-awareness through its use.
