“[Marijuana, is] dangerous as a coiled rattlesnake. How many murders, suicides, robberies and maniacal deeds it causes each year, especially among the young, can only be conjectured.” —“Marijuana: Assassin of Youth,” by Harry J. Anslinger, U. S. Commissioner of Narcotics, 1937
“The Narcotics Section recognizes the great danger of marijuana due to its definite impairment of the mentality and the fact that its continuous use leads direct to the insane asylum.” —Harry J. Anslinger, U. S. Commissioner of Narcotics, 1938
