"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana can cause white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others." -- Federal Bureau of Narcotics Director Harry J. Anslinger "...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races." -- Anslinger, 1930 "Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality and death." -- Anslinger, 1937 "Marijuana is the most violence causing drug in the history of mankind."-- Anslinger "[Smoking] one [marihuana] cigarette might develop a homicidal mania, probably to kill his brother."-- (see U.S. Government Propaganda To Outlaw Marijuana) Anyone who believes this perjurious nonsense should never hold public office.
