April 2, 1924 Newspaper Article - "Loco Weed" Now Cultivated and Smoked in Cigarettes
    #14226917 - 04/02/11 04:18 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

This article is from 87 years ago today. I wonder how their 35 cent joints of dirt weed tasted?

I transcribed the article below, the actual article has several grammatical errors so I tried to fix it a bit.



April 2, 1924 - Plattsburgh Daily Press

"Loco Weed" Now Cultivated and Smoked in Cigarettes

New Orleans -
"Marihuana," or "Marijuana" as some spell it, the everyday "loco weed" that formerly grew wild now is being cultivated on thousands of acres in the deserts of northern Mexico for sale to addicts of the plant in this country, according to Valdo Santos, arrested here with five pounds of it in his possession. Santos was charged with violating a city ordinance against the sale and possession of the product.

The weed, which Santos said is being sent from Mexico to agents in all parts of the United States for distribution, is smoked in the form of cigarettes and according to Santos, "the business beats bootlegging because the fines are smaller and I sell it for thirty-five cents a cigarette.
