  This is awesome and its a great overview of the information.  I can envision Morgan Freeman for a redo on the sound track. Bravo for a work well done!

Love to see part 2, from then to now.

A simple, safe non-addictive medicinal herb. NOT a drug! Thousands of years and not a single addiction. Not a single death attributed to it. Except for the Prohibition Era. Did anyone know, before a simple, safe non-addictive medicinal herb was outlawed 50,000 products were made from it?
