  • Summary

  • In this installment of the 3 Joints at 3 AM podcast, Billy Oh delves into the intertwined history of cannabis with counterculture, music, and art. Beginning with marijuana’s genesis in the counterculture era of the 1920s and 1930s, Billy details how the plant became a symbol of freedom and artistic expression and evolved into a significant part of the movements for social liberation in the 1960s. He explores the influence of cannabis on music and art during the ’60s and ’70s, its place in the U.S government’s War on Drugs, and its continued existence despite crackdown and stigma. He charts the shift towards legalization and how the counterculture has adapted to the new-age trends. Finally, Billy questions the future of the cannabis counterculture amidst complete legalization and the rise of corporate weed.
