    For a communist Stalin was a notorious bowl hog. That's part of the 30% that Mao criticized him for.

      Mao of course having suffered the terrible mids of wild weed in the Chinese countryside. To have Stalin hog the bowl of Soviet premium cannabis: this is a 420th kind of liberalism

      Idk if this story is true, but it always makes me laugh, so I choose to believe it is

      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 was never the same."

        Its just a meme made based on the Photoshop :stalin-smokin: (the OG picture is his pipe) I even found and checked the supposed source from Larry Fatso or whatever lol. Also they didn't really smoke weed in Russia. They did however, have awards for growing cannabis for industrial use
