BTW, I thought the war on drugs was started on the Mexican/U.S. border when the Mexican immigrants brought it over and used it after a "...long day's work in the fields. They saw it as a way to relax."
One night in the city of El Paso, a bunch of white Texans were killed by a Mexican who was, supposedly, on the "killer weed." So, the El Paso City Council passed a low banning possession of marihuana, called the El Paso Ordinance of 1914.

Nixon put together a team of anti pot crusaders led by a conservitive fuck prosocuter from Pa named Schaffer. Pryor to their Rating: 5
