RE: POT DISPENSARY BAN ONE STEP FROM FINALIZATION FOR NEVADA COUNTY

I wonder if Nevada County officials set on banning medical marijuana 
realize that the pot prohibition they endorse is based on racist 
fictions and utter lies about mass murder inspired by using cannabis.

"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.
