:stalin-smokin: do you think Stalin was a toker?
Che seemed like a cool dude that smoked weed. I'm not just saying that because I have a mild crush on him or anything, b-baka :hentai-free:
Yeah I bet Che could say that an edible ain't shit, and be right.
They say that the weed grown in the USSR under Stalin was some of the most potent ever known to man. Under the guidance of Trofim Lysenko, Stalin assembled a crack team of growers whose marijuana was known for its intense body high and clarifying mental effects. In his personal diaries, Nikolai Bukharin writes, "Joseph [Stalin] came to me one night as I was struggling to finish the final edit of an issue of Pravda. He handed me an ounce of marijuana that reeked of skunk, The smell alone was enough to make me tremble. 'This is a gift from Lysenko and I' he said, and left almost immediately. I smoked that weed and I was never the same." Reefer Madness: A History of Marijuana, Larry "Ratso" Sloman, pg. 194
I don't have any idea as to whether or not this is a real quote.
I tried to track that one down beyond that book and couldn't find an original source from Bukharin. It might not be translated into English yet or something but I'm sceptical of it. Calling it weed and marijuana are neologisms he wouldn't have known so the Russian source if it exists would read differently.
According to Wikipedia, the Soviets banned unauthorized cannabis growth in 1934, although hashish continued to be used in places where it had existed previously, most notably Kazakhstan. Hemp was a major industrial product, however.
Bukharin is where that timeline gets tricky. He was cast out in 1929 and arrested in 1937. This anecdote would have probably been in the 20s when he was on good terms with Stalin.
I feel like Karl Marx would blaze up if he lived in our THC pen/edibles/dispensary culture of today, he enjoyed getting his drink on and sleeping on couches.
he enjoyed getting his drink on and sleeping on couches.
He's just like me fr
He strikes me as Matt Christman with a doctorate. Still dabbing on his porch and yelling into the void, but instead of acid Marxism it's Marxism.
Something about writing engels while posted up with a large quantity of tobacco and lemonade to do some writing.
Lenin would be like "revolution is too important for cannibis" and go back to doing pushups.
Did they have adderall, redbull, and filtered cigarettes back then?
Little known fact: Stalin purged Trotzki for rolling the worst joint in history.
weed the plant used to be fucking EVERYWHERE in china, even downtown urban areas back in the 90s and 00s, could smell that shit just walking around
they really cleaned house since then
I don't know, I don't think Kim Kardashian is into that kind of thing.
I thought that was a dumb myth like everyone in DPRK needing the same haircut. Is that legit? If so that's really cool.
I'm just a regular lady who wants to get blazed and talk about theory with somebody who will understand it
Not sure if you already know this, but Felix doesn't smoke weed at all, actually.
Yeah, from what I've heard :capybara-fancy: is the biggest stoner of the chapos, followed by :matt:
IDK Kollontai seems like someone that could enjoy a joint.
Emiliano Zapata more than likely smoked some marijuana (using this word in the original sense not the reactionary way) out and about in Mexico.
