HISTORY

Why is Cannabis illegal?

Ever wondered how cannabis went from a widely used medicinal plant to a prohibited substance? This piece traces the complex history of cannabis prohibition, from its early uses to the War on Drugs. We explore the roles of key figures like Harry Anslinger, racial and social factors that influenced legislation, and how international policies shaped global attitudes.

SMOKE SPOTS

Eltham Palace and Gardens

About The Spot:

This week, we're venturing to the often-overlooked Eltham Palace and Gardens in southeast London. This unique spot offers a surreal blend of mediaeval and Art Deco architecture set in beautiful gardens - perfect for a chill session with a side of history.

The palace grounds feature 19 acres of landscaped gardens, including a sunken rose garden, rock garden, and mediaeval bridge over a moat. For a secluded smoke, head to the quieter areas of the garden, like the area near the old horse chestnut tree or the secluded spots along the woodland walk.

Where Is It:

Eltham Palace is located in Eltham, southeast London. The nearest station is Mottingham (Southeastern rail), about a 15-minute walk away. Address: Court Yard, Eltham, London SE9 5QE.

Nearby Munchies:

After exploring the palace and gardens, check out these local spots for munchies. The Tudor Barn in Eltham offers great pub food in a historic setting. For something different, try Yak & Yeti for delicious Nepalese and Indian cuisine. If you're craving something sweet, Purveyors Fine Foods serves excellent cakes and pastries. For a quick bite, Eltham GPO, a food hall in an old post office, offers a variety of options under one roof.
