Oh yeah, a man named Harry J. Anslinger said that the Great Depression was caused by Mexicans coming into america and smoking pot (trying to find work), and the american people ate it up. Marijuana wasn't even illegal (federally) until 1937. Plus, Harry made speeches in southern states (he toured the Bible Belt with his propaganda) saying that unless you want your kids ending up like a black person, you should keep them away from marijuana!
it is Harry J. Anslinger, the guy that said "marijuana makes you crazy!", and when murderers started pleading insanity due to marijuana to escape the deaeth penalty, he retracted the statement in court and replaced it, saying that marijuana is a gateway drug.
Adam corrolla said last night "Remember back in the 70's, and you were like 'Pot is gonna be legal...like thursday!' and here we are, 30 years later in the same spot..."
