It may be my opinion, but it is correct. Just look at these quotes from the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics

"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."

"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."

"You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother."

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

Mr. Anslinger was a key figure in making marijuana illegal. Now, I think any reasonable person will look at these quotes and find them both misleading and fraudulent.

The citations you posted are old news....and are simply opinions. The LAW is that pot is ILLEGAL. End of story.

"Mr. Anslinger was a key figure in making marijuana illegal."

He didn't classify marijuana as a Schedule I drug. That was done in 1970 under the Controlled Substances Act passed by Congress, and I saw no references to Mr. Anslinger, Satanic music, white women, or Negroes.

It's disingenuous of you to imply that our current laws against marijuana are based on anything other than the Congressional findings listed in the 1970 CSA. Unless you can provide some kind of proof, that is. Can you?
