Marihuana Menaces Youth -
Scientific American - March
1936:
MARIHUANA smoking has spread so rapidly that the drug has
become a serious menace, particularly among youthful lawbreakers.
The drug, also known as loco weed, muggles, Indian hay, Indian hemp,
hasheesh, laughing tobacco, and reefers, is dried and rolled into cigarettes
selling from five to 25 cents apiece. From
300 to 500 cigarettes can be made from a pound, making it highly profitable for
its underworld vendors.
Marihuana produces a wide variety of symptoms in the user,
including hilarity, swooning, and sexual excitement. Combined with intoxicants, it often makes the smoker vicious,
with a desire to fight and kill.
Addiction to the drug is common in Mexico and some
authorities have estimated that as many as one out of every four persons in some
of the southern states are users. Out
of 450 prisoners examined in New Orleans in 1930, 125 were found to be addicts.
Despite the vicious effects of marihuana, only 17 states have laws
against it and its control is not yet included under the federal Harrison
narcotic act.
Marihuana More
Dangerous Than Heroin or Cocaine:
--
Scientific American - May 1938:
Marihuana is “a more dangerous drug than heroin or
cocaine.” Authority for this
statement is United States Commissioner of Narcotics H. J. Anslinger.
Mr. Anslinger’s statement was made as part of a report on narcotics
appearing in the bulletin of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
“I am surprised to learn that certain police officers
have been inclined to minimize the effects of the use of marihuana.”
Science Service quotes Mr. Anslinger.
“These officers should review some of the cases that are reported to
the Bureau. They would, I am sure,
be convinced that the drug is adhering to its Old World traditions of murder,
assault, rape, physical demoralization, and mental breakdown.
A study of the effects of marihuana shows clearly that it is a dangerous
drug, and Bureau records prove that its use is associated with insanity and
crime.”
Effects of marihuana, according to an authority quoted by
Mr. Anslinger, are as follows:
“1. Feeling of unaccountable hilarity.
“2. Excitation and a disassociation of ideas: the
weakening of power to direct thoughts.
“3. Errors in time and space.
“4. Intensification of auditory sensibilities, causing
profound dejection or mad gayety.
“5. Fixed ideas: delirious conviction. This is a type of
intellectual injury so frequent in mental alienation. The user imagines the most unbelievable things, giving way to
monstrous extravagances.
“6. Emotional
disturbance during which the user is powerless to direct his thoughts, loses the
power to resist emotions, and may commit violence which knows no bounds when
disorders of the intellect have reached a point of incoherence.
During this dangerous phenomenon, evil instincts are brought to the
surface and cause a fury to rage within the user.
“7. Irresistible impulses which may result in suicide.
“The illusions are those of sight, hearing, and sense.
The mind loses all idea of space and extent, and tends to exaggerate in
all things; the slightest impulse or suggestion carries it away.”
