I never actually said that and I don't believe the government is in the habit of spreading misinformation to its citizens. Eventually people find out they've been lied to and then things get real ugly. Law enforcement and the criminal justice system had significant input in making marijuana an illegal and controlled substance. But it sprung out of the growth of the 1960`s drug culture, which finally opened the eyes of society and subsequently lead to the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. You want everyone to believe that marijuana was made illegal, as an artificial creation of the government. It wasn't!
The accounts of the evidence presented by Anslinger, and his testimony before Congress are readily available on the net. Can you point to any of it that would stand up as objectively defensible arguments? Nixon commissioned research into the effects of marijuana, and then threw it out because it didn't support his pre-conceived ideas. Our drug policy is closer to being based on "Reefer Madness" than the available research.
