Medical Marijuana and Miserable, Malignant Misinformation: the Essence of Reefer Madness

“…the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.” -Prohibitionist Harry Anslinger

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Not many of the readers will remember the garbage printed by the Hearst Newspapers written by Harry Anslinger, a self appointed guardian of Americans, about the extreme dangers of smoking marijuana. One of our readers on this subject, Dr. Leonard Krivitsky, M.D., D.D., provided us with this listing taken word for word from the Hearst Newspapers. Hold on to your hats and butts – here it is:

These are the direct quotes from the prohibitionist Harry Anslinger pushing the “Marijuana Tax Act” of 1937 that led to the demonization of this quintessential medicinal plant:

“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.”

“…the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”

“Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.”

“you smoke a joint and you’re likely to kill your brother.”

“Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.”

If you have choked on this diatribe – join the club!!

CANNABIS FOREVER!!

I am 52 years old. When I was in high school, they showed me a video of a guy smoking marijuana, then putting a drill to his head..true story. At 16 years old, I figured out how much the government lies.. oh, our public education system also showed my how to hide under my WOODEN desk in case of nuclear attack... I know it sounds like all my posts are doom and gloom, but its not true really..the truth is getting out, and I actually feel a bit of hope. Hard times can not be avoided at this point in time, its inevitable. Please do not support anything that is against free speech, even if that speech is against what you believe. The truth will make its way thru.
