The 90's: Getting Older
00:05:59 - 00:07:36 ""Chicago Kids"" by Tom Weinberg and Patrick Creadon. Inner-city kids in Chicago talk about the best age to be. One girl replies, ""Thirteen. Then you can do more things. When you grow up some people be on drugs and beat their kids a lot. Then the state has to take them away. That's why I like to be young."
1980s NEWS
INTERVEIW CONTINUES: Robert Lipsyte 15:17 Okay, Troy, let me let me ask you. I sense also that part of your coming to your solution of legalization is that you've sort of lost hope that law enforcement and regular problems are going to solve. Troy Morell 15:32 It's not really doing that just people don't want to listen, you know, people don't really listen. That's why I keep saying we bring it out and open, they will probably say all Come on, you don't even think crack is a drug anymore for their kids like kids rebellious, they do these Robert Lipsyte 15:45 even beyond crack, I mean, heroin. Troy Morell 15:48 They used to get yourselves high. But it's like, it's not making all these education programs, people even going to school, so I don't think they will get their education. It may stop some people who never used it from using it. It's kind of hard, like if it's our teachers teaching the kid to go to college and stuff and have a drug in the back, you know, counting money and have a bins downstairs or gold chains around his neck . It's kind of hard to tell kids to do this when a kid in a drug is doing that, you know, it's like, if it were legalized, it's like taking out the middleman, drug drug possibly out of business. It's like the cops came when the cops can't catch all of them, but the problem will still be there. The probably what was gonna be there. Even if we don't legalize it. Luis Velasquez (NT-3126) 16:27 Yeah, but if you legalize it, what you do is all those all those, all those Young's all those youngs, all those young people that that aren't in school, you're going to encourage more them to get more into drugs. Troy Morell 16:41 Not really agree with that. I don't agree with because it'd be more like a fad. If it'd be more out in the store kids would not want that stuff Robert Lipsyte 16:48 I think we're out of time now, but I certainly think you've educated us very much into the problem. Troy morell and Luis Velasquez Thank you very much. We'll be right back with two politicians who also disagree.

The 90's, episode 217: LIFE IN THE GREY AREAS
00:55 ""Advice Ladies"" by Skip Blumberg. Women who give advice on New York City streets warn us: ""People are doing the wrong drugs. Instead of all the good drugs that they did in the '60s they're doing drugs that mess you up, like crack and heavier versions of crack. If people just changed their drugs, everything would be fine."" 02:20 ""Wavy Gravy"" by Pat Creadon. At Weedstock in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, Wavy Gravy, the perennial countercultural figure, speaks about legalizing marijuana. He says: ""Let's get real, herb should be legalized, I'm tired of my friends getting put away for smoking a little herb. Part of my spiritual life is smoking herb."" ""The '90s are the '60s standing on their head."" 03:51 ""Indian Alley"" by Jim Mulryan. Homeless, alcoholic Native Americans talk about their problems on the streets of Los Angeles. Conrad Hunter: ""We drink so much, the thing is we're losing each other...We sold our buffalo hide...just for the alcohol...It makes me feel real good. When I open the bottle. Drink...I don't care about nobody but myself...but now when I'm kinda sober, I realize who's hurting who. I'm hurting myself."" 09:08 ""Rev. Calvin O. Butts"" by Esti Galili Marpet. Rev. Butts speaks: ""The politicians really have no concern about the people of the United States of America...The only concern is with the dollar...If they can exploit America in this process they will...There really is no love for the children of this country...I think it's a cruel hoax and I think it's deception... It really approaches evil...The infrastructure of America is weakening, so we become vulnerable to our enemies. And the captains of industry and commerce will just go wherever they can to make their quick cash. "" 15:52 ""Street Drugs"" (AKA Father Bill Davis / Christic Institute) by Eddie Becker. Father Bill Davis spent the last ten years in a poor, drug-infested neighborhood a stone's throw away from the nation's capital in Washington D.C. He's outraged at the government's ""war on drugs."" Davis comments that ""It's just a PR campaign... how can we purport to have a major war on drugs when foreign policy supports drug cartels?"" He is convinced that drugs are only part of the problem - unemployment, housing conditions and hunger are the real issues. ""People who have very few choices in their lives are told to say no,"" he says. 19:00 Richard Dennis, chairman, Advisory Board Drug Policy Foundation, speaks: ""The current drug policy is doing kids a disservice...it's saying that all drugs are the same and it's setting up kids to have endless doubts about what authority figures say and if they can be trusted. Minority neighborhoods are being used as staging zones for drug warriors to attack dealers in order to protect people in the suburbs from themselves...the War on Drugs is regressive."" 23:27 ""Tom McKean"" by Joel Cohen. Ex-cocaine addict McKean does open line radio and talks to school kids in Chicago's inner city about how to avoid peer pressure and drug use. He says that ""government is not the answer, prison is not the answer, rehabilitation is the answer...The reason we do drugs is because we live fast-paced lives and we have needs and we don't know what to do...Kids need to be loved off drugs."" 31:39 More from ""Wavy Gravy."" Gravy tells us of his dislike for cocaine. 42:24 ""Robert Sundance"" by Jim Mulryan. Robert Sundance on the DTs, ""I didn't know if you cut yourself off from booze, you'd get withdrawls, which is the DTs...It was a horrible experience. After you go through them 50 or 100 times you kinda know what to expect."" He goes on to say that the secret to success for the Native American Indian is sobriety. Only then will the Native American be able to rightfully control his affairs. ""We should be getting something out of all our natural resources which are being stolen from us. The federal government doesn't want that to happen. So alcoholism for American Indians is a conspiracy between the United States of America and the giant multinational corporations who want to get into the treaty lands and exploit the resources. The genocide of today is alcoholism."" 49:15 ""Captain Ed"" by Chuck Cirino. Captain Ed takes us through a tour of his head shop in Los Angeles. As the camera pans a selection of bongs and other paraphernalia, Ed says, ""These are the things that they want me to stop carrying. We've been an honorable business, we're under the gun. My business shouldn't be harassed."" In the black light room Ed talks about voting, ""If Byrne votes in 1992, they'll give us what we want the next time around...If you don't use it, you're gonna lose it...If we vote, they'll be on our list."" 56:33 Joe Cummings reads Viewer Mail under the end credits. ""Yes, good news, PBS has scheduled The 90's in prime time starting in April."

The 90's, episode 203: THE HEMP TAPES"
0:24 Cold open with Johnny Marijuanaseed. 01:33 ""Johnny Marijuanaseed"" by Nancy Cain. Johhny Marijuanaseed, a hemp activist, tells Nancy Cain: ""It was William Randolph Hearst who was instrumental in outlawing hemp. A newspaper baron, Hearst was concerned that newsprint manufactured from a hemp byproduct would interfere with his immense profits from the enormous tracts of forest that he owned...In 1937 Hearst along with DuPont and Mellon were instrumental in the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act, which made the growing of hemp illegal in the U.S. At the time the AMA fought the legislation arguing that hemp is a useful medicinal plant..."" 05:00 Interview with Gatewood Galbraith, Democratic gubernatorial candidate from Kentucky and marijuana advocate. ""Reagan and Bush are not conservatives, they're aliens...I believe that marijuana should be licensed and regulated as a cash crop and let our farmers make this money...When I was growing up, conservative meant you kept the government in the box...The government does not have the right to interfere in alot of different aspects of people's lives in this state. Marijuana is a benchmark topic for this election... A society that can accommodate tobacco and alcohol should accommodate marijuana... The government, if not controlled, will grow to occupy the space currently occupied by our civil liberties..."" 14:44 Richard Dennis, chairman, Advisory Board Drug Policy Foundation, speaks: ""The current drug policy is doing kids a disservice... it's saying that all drugs are the same and it's setting up kids to have endless doubts about what authority figures say if they can be trusted. Minority neighborhoods are being used as staging zones for drug warriors to attack dealers in order to protect people in the suburbs from themselves... the War on Drugs is regressive."" 15:50 ""Cook County Prison."" In Chicago, a group of singers made up of inmates and guards entertain prisoners. 18:09 ""Tom McKean"" by Joel Cohen. Ex-cocaine addict McKean does open line radio and talks to school kids in Chicago's inner city about how to avoid peer pressure and drug use. He says that ""government is not the answer, prison is not the answer, rehabilitation is the answer...The reason we do drugs is because we live fast-paced lives and we have needs and we don't know what to do...Kids need to be loved off drugs."" 24:07 ""Hon. Robert Sweet"" by Esti Marpet. N.Y. Judge Robert Sweet speaks: ""In 1972, a committee reporting to Nixon recommended marijuana be legalized...The National Academy of Sciences made the same recommendation a few years ago. Growing marijuana is the second largest cash crop in California. The American people have learned that the threat of 'reefer madness' is nonsense...If we want to be practical we have to realize that 75% of arrests in the criminal justice system are marijuana arrests...If we eliminate prohibition of marijuana we will ease the burden on the criminal justice system."" 26:31 ""Dead Are Not Dead"" by Judith Binder. A Venice Beach musician sings: ""Our spirit lives on and on, in the trees, in the water, in the fire that's dying."" 28:11 More from ""Johnny Marijuanaseed."" Johnny tells us that no other plant has as many byproducts as hemp and is as good for the environment. ""You can make fabric from it, you can make paper from it, you can make gas and electricity. It's organically grown...it could replace fossil fuels."" 30:12 More from Gatewood Galbraith, smoking marijuana as he speaks: ""The problem is that the pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries control this country. Hemp is the greatest product. Hemp IS petroleum. It's no coincidence that in 1937 when hemp was outlawed, nylon was patented. The true battle on this planet today is between the naturals and the synthetics."" 34:14 Tony Serra commentary by Jesse Drew. Serra, a civil rights lawyer, talks about the legalization of marijuana: ""The truth is that marijuana is more benign than alcohol and tobacco put together. Marijuana should be legalized. There is no nexus, no stepping stone between marijuana and shooting heroin. Total prohibition has created the drug problem."" 39:17 ""Don Fielder"" by Eddie Becker. Fielder, the Executive of NORML, speaks: ""William Bennett is a dangerous man...anyone who speaks out against his drug policy is considered unpatriotic. The drug problem is an issue for the Surgeon General, not the Attorney General. Bennett's solution is to create more prisons, more jails and take away our constitutional freedoms."" 40:59 ""Wavy Gravy"" by Pat Creadon. At Weedstock in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, Wavy Gravy, the perennial countercultural figure, speaks about legalizing marijuana. He says: ""Let's get real, herb should be legalized, I'm tired of my friends getting put away for smoking a little herb. Part of my spiritual life is smoking herb."" ""The 90's are the 60's standing on their head."" 48:17 More from Richard Dennis: ""I don't see what law enforcement does except add to people's misery. It makes no sense. If I could have a 'wish list' of drugs to outlaw, the first would be crack, the second, tobacco. We should never talk of crack and pot in the same paragraph."" 48:45 ""Earth Day 1990: Washington DC"" by Eddie Becker. Members of NORML sell clothing made of hemp. According to them, ""Hemp is the only biomass capable of making America energy independent. One acre of pot equals four acres of trees grown for paper production. Hemp can be grown in any soil, it has no enemies. The only enemy is the U.S. Government. Smoking pot is good for you - it lowers stress, dilates the arteries and lowers your body temperature. Smoke pot - you'll live longer!"" 53:02 ""The 'Pope"" by Esti Marpet. From Greenwich Village in New York City, a man claims: ""I am the pope, self appointed. Marijuana can save the world. You can make clothes out of it, it grows quickly, it conserves soil. It's the only safe drug."" 54:41 More from ""Johnny Marijuanaseed"": ""Everything you can make from whale oil, you can make from hemp oil. You can process and texturize hemp into tofu... we could save the Whales!"
