back in the late 1930s when "marihuana" was made illegal, one of anslinger's main points against marihuana was that assassins, or hashashins would smoke hash, become extremely violent, and then go and murder their enemies. anslinger claimed (well, hearst was the one that propagated the claim) that smoking marihuana made these dudes violent. even worse, they were smoking the purified version of marihuana, hash.

basically, because marihuana makes people violent, the purer marihuana you get, the more violent you become. hence the stricter laws concerning hash.

ya, it's bullshit; but it's the law. awareness is the first step towards rectification :thumbsup:
