No, your report is correct. Once it was illegal many killers, robbers, in fact everyone used cannabis as an excuse. After all if it drives you to insanity then maybe that is why you beat that guy to death. So within about 2 years they went totally the opposite and said it leads to lethargy, and loss productivity in life, peace loving. Certainly not something to blame for killing anyone. Too many people were escaping jail and Anslinger was actually testifying in court cases that it drove you to insanity. Big daddy Mellon told him to stop the testimony and change the message. Jails must be filled to keep the corporate profits of Jail Inc. up. You do know that jails are private corporations designed to maximize profits on their "assets."

Yes, conflicting messages seem to abound when you have to back up a lie. You may be marked for ommission on the insane stuff, but not the non-violent. It is the maxum of rulers; scare them into the law, then do whatever you want to them.
