The 1930's and Harry J. Anslinger
In 1930, a new division in the Treasury Department was established -- the Federal Bureau of Narcotics -- and Harry J. Anslinger was named director. This, if anything, marked the beginning of the all-out war against marijuana.
Harry J. Anslinger
Anslinger was an extremely ambitious man, and he recognized the Bureau of Narcotics as an amazing career opportunity -- a new government agency with the opportunity to define both the problem and the solution. He immediately realized that opiates and cocaine wouldn't be enough to help build his agency, so he latched on to marijuana and started to work on making it illegal at the federal level.
Anslinger immediately drew upon the themes of racism and violence to draw national attention to the problem he wanted to create. Some of his quotes regarding marijuana...
================================================== =====
"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."
"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."
"Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing"
"You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother."
"Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."
And he loved to pull out his own version of the "assassin" definition:
"In the year 1090, there was founded in Persia the religious and military order of the Assassins, whose history is one of cruelty, barbarity, and murder, and for good reason: the members were confirmed users of hashish, or marihuana, and it is from the Arabs' 'hashashin' that we have the English word 'assassin.'"

the whole reason pot was first outlawed was because the goverment was trying to keep the mexicans from coming over the border and causing trouble. Reefer madness was filmed to scare the general masses into thinking it makes you crazy. add the two and you get a general disbelife that pot is bad and makes you crazy.
edit: and mexicans are crazy............. just kidding

Has anyone ever seen the movie grass? it is an awsome documentry on the Us war on marijuana. It is an awsome, informative movie with the narration done by Woody harrelson . It talks ALOT about angslinger and all his dumb shit. It is a great movie. It doesnt say that pot is completey harmless, and every pothead is a saint, but does do a good job of showing that the government propaganda were fed is far from the truth.
The idiot was behind the infamous Marijuana Tax Act in 1937, providing framework for federal regulation. Here is a few other "campaign" quotes brought fourth by The first US drug Czar
"An entire family was murdered by a youthful addict in Florida. When officers arrived at the home, they found the youth staggering about in a human slaughterhouse. With an axe he had killed his father, mother, two brothers, and a sister. He seemed to be in a daze? He had no recollection of having committed the multiple crime. The officers knew him ordinarily as a sane, rather quiet young man; now he was pitifully crazed. They sought the reason. The boy said that he had been in the habit of smoking something which youthful friends called ??muggles,? a childish name for marijuana."
"Colored students at the Univ. of Minn. partying with female students (white), smoking [marijuana] and getting their sympathy with stories of racial persecution. Result pregnancy"; or "Two Negros took a girl fourteen years old and kept her for two days under the influence of marijuana. Upon recovery she was found to be suffering from syphilis."

Anslinger was appointed to the lifetime, non-elected office that made laws by the Secretary of treasury. Mr. Mellon of the Mellon Bank. Mr Mellon created the Federal B of Narcotics for Mr Anslinger because Anslinger had just married the daughter of Mr. Mellon. Mr Mellons bank had lent the Duponts a lot of money and owned stock in them. They had a new chemical and patents they got from the Nazis in the war, called nylon. So Dupont, well it went on. But Henry J Assinaslinger is all part of the conspiracy to kill industrial and medical hemp. No one really cares about smokers, they just make good prisoners for slave labor.
Here have a bud from todays cutting room floor, screw those asswipes, we will get them.
