Résumé : | In the 1930s, Harry J. Anslinger was appointed commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. This article is one of many that he wrote describing marijuana as a "Frankenstein" drug that was stalking American youth. As a result of Anslinger's crusade, on August 2, 1937, the Marijuana Tax Act was signed into law, classifying the scraggly tramp of the vegetable world as a narcotic and placing it under essentially the same controls as the Harrison Act had done with opium and coca products. |
