“…the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.” “Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.” “There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.”
Yes, THAT’S WHY WEED IS ILLEGAL! It’s not because of science, medical facts, government hearings or to protect people from the “most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.” it was Racism! America now had proof that degenerates were victimizing the white population and they were using weed to do it!
Those bullshit quotes above are from Harry J. Anslinger the first Commissioner of the Treasury Department’s Federal Bureau of Narcotics back in the 30’s which ultimately morphed into the corrupt DEA of today. He was self-appointed, by the way. You see, marijuana was made illegal…just to give racists something tangible to use to DIRECTLY discriminate against African Americans! The ban on weed is rooted in those very same fears addressed by the civil rights movement. Reefer Madness continues to this day! Reefer Madness not only reinforces but illustrates that separate but not equal treatment bullshit that keeps us all separated. By fighting Reefer Madness we’re fighting RACISM ITSELF! And, by fighting for your right to medicate your fighting racism.
Perhaps it is more of a fight for human rights since America’s Weed Wars aren’t only affecting Americans. Marijuana prohibition fuels global drug cartels; 65% of all funding for Mexican drug cartels alone comes from the illegal sale of marijuana. The negative stereotyping of marijuana in our nation knows NO bounds. A quick Google search and you’ll see just recently in South Asia two young men were executed by their government just for possessing weed! There’s an Australian woman facing execution in Indonesia for possession right now! The day after Christmas two men we’re beheaded in Saudi Arabia for “smuggling”….we could go on and on and list the horrors of the persecution of herb-users in our nation (jailing, home-invasions, illegal search and seizures, beatings, witnessing family pets executed during raids, etc.) and externally then compare their suffering with that of African Americans, but why? You can clearly see that marijuana users are fighting for equality.
