Mexicans and black jazz musicians from luring white women into sexual misconduct(winston2)

Show me that reference in the Controlled Substances Act.

It really shows that you don't know much about Harry Anslinger and that you have never seen the movie - Grass.

The short answer to your question is that Harry Anslinger made those comments before several Senate and Congress hearings.

1935: “Marihuana influenced negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men’s shadows, and look at a white woman twice.” —Hearst Newspapers

1937: “Marihuana is the most violent drug in the history of mankind.” —Congressional Testimony, H.J. Anslinger, FBN

1938: “Marihuana is more dangerous than heroin or cocaine.” —Anslinger, Scientific American, May, 1938

1938: “If the hideous monster of Frankenstein came face to face with marihuana, he would drop dead of fright.” —Anslinger, FBN, quoted in Hearst newspaper

1937-50: “Negro entertainers with their jazz and swing music are declared an outgrowth of marihuana use which possesses white women to tap their feet.” —statements to Congress by Anslinger, FBN

I know that he died years before the Controlled Substances Act was written.
