As we look to connect queer history and cannabis, it’s important to recognize the intersection of activism that both queer and cannabis rights advocates alike had to implement for the rights we hold now. While cannabis use is grounded in American history as far back as the Mexican revolution, the battle for legalization gained new traction in the 70s, 80s, and 90s in no small part to the use of cannabis by members of the queer community who were suffering from HIV/AIDs. With a lack of government intervention in supporting the queer community during this health crisis, the community turned inward to use what resources they had: the trusty plant we’ve all grown to love.
