The LGBTQ community was instrumental in creating California’s Proposition 215, making it the first state in the nation to legalize cannabis for medical use. #pridemonth #cannabislgbtq Dennis Peron began to publicly advocate for medical cannabis in the early 1990s after seeing how it helped people with AIDS, including his late partner, cope with symptoms such as pain, nausea and wasting. Peron opened the first public cannabis dispensary in the United States, the San Francisco Cannabis Buyer’s Club, which aimed to provide a safe place for sick people to safely obtain and use medical marijuana. It also became a cultural hub and headquarters of the fight for medical cannabis in California. https://www.cancerhealth.com/blog/rip-medical-marijuana-pioneer-dennis-peron #coremuseum #socialjusticecannabismuseum #bostonmuseum #cannabismuseum

Did you know that between 1973 and 1978, a dozen states had decriminalized the possession of up to an ounce of cannabis and momentum for legalization was spreading across the country? This led to the bloom of a $250 Million Dollar paraphernalia market by 1977. In today’s dollars, this amounts to over a Billion Dollars and was an anomaly in the weak economy of the time. Ultimately the size of the market, the often blatant appeal to children, as well as the uptick in adolescent cannabis use led to the reversal of the decriminalization wave. #coremuseum #socialjusticecannabismuseum #bostonmuseum #cannabismuseum
