Probably the first guy or group which decided that any kind of hallucinagenic is bad for humans and has a dleterious effect on the human brain, especially brains in the formative stages up to age 25 or so..


Alan S
his name was Harry Anslinger. He was the head of the narcotic bureau in 1937 when he zipped the "Marihuana Stamp Act" through the ways and means committee. If you go to www.jackherer.com you'll find a wealth of info that has been fact checked for reliability.

Learn to spell. And don't sound so judgemental, your definately anti-marijuana by the way you interject your cooments. What happened to the liberties and pursuit of happiness, I have bipolar and MMj relieves me of the psychmotor agitation, just thinking about it relaxes me, and smoking it doesn't lead me to crash my car into a family of law abiding citizens. Where are their rights? Mj use has no victims if alcohol or tobacco doesn't, where's the justice of these laws? Human equality brought to this country post Martin L. King should have led to a review of the reasons for legislation. Inferior races? Doesn't the Mj part of the war on drugs seem like a waste of manpower and resources when it was initiated by racial causes?
