And this is what Dr. Greenspoon said in 2006 about Cannabis Sativa medicinal Plant:
"Cannabis will one day be seen as a wonder drug, as was penicillin in the 1940s. Like penicillin, herbal marijuana is remarkably nontoxic, has a wide range of therapeutic applications and would be quite inexpensive if it were legal".
These are the the direct quotes from the prohibitionist Harry Anslinger(the guy who helped marijuana become illegal) pushing the "Marijuana Tax Act of 1937:
"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 use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.”
“…the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”
“Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.”
“Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.”
“Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing”
“You smoke a joint and you’re likely to kill your brother.”
“Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.”
I think this is kind of interesting, because these are the reasons marijuana is illegal in the first place.
well i think that alot of people would be moving to California
there are alot of people that are going to be happy about this and alot who are going to be very upset
