KPFA- Marijuana Program [sound recording]
notes: label: Notes
content: Rare, unreleased copy of the notorious 1954 "Marijuana Program" broadcast on Pacifica radio's KPFA, an illicit interview with a small group of marijuana smokers. Subjects cover lack of adverse effects, media depictions of users and prices, its pleasurable, peaceful effects, and potential commercial legalization. Resulted in the tape being impounded by the CA Attorney General and censorship by the FCC. Box notes indicate "Duplicate KPFA Marijuana" - "From H. Jacobs, 41 Osgood Pl. San Francisco, CA." See box and documentation for FW-ASCH-5RR-4774 for more details, another copy of program sent to Asch, but wrong tape found in box. KPFA was the first station in the Pacifica Radio network and the first listener-supported radio broadcaster in the United States.
