I saw Melissa Erthridge talk with Stone Phillips and come out of another closet with Ganja and her chemo treatment. I could just hear the advocates gleefully optomistic, thinking it won't be long now. She said all of her doctors said Ganja was the best treatment, period.

Then reality seept in remembering the same thoughts after Montel and Ricky Williams came out. The IOM report would surely show em. Murphy Brown before that. Or prop 215, its the law ain't it? Oh when Jimmy Carter said the punishment shouldn't be worse than the drug and even Danny Quayle spouted decriminalize. Won't be long now. In 72 that ole Republican governor of my home state was going to conduct some research into Ganja. Everyone was sure it would be the last nail in the coffin to keep it outlawed. No tricky dick commission could be trusted.

What? Not addictive, should be legalized? What a shocker. Part of the missing tapes. What ever happened to that report? In 1969 Life Mag said Marijuana: the law vs. 12 million people, Should it be legalized? Soon we will know. I reckon it depends on how one defines "soon".

The Shafer Commission of 1970
Marijuana does not lead to physical dependency, although some evidence indicates that the heavy, long-term users may develop a psychological dependence on the drug"

Missing Nixon tapes
In an excruciating sequence from Sept. 9, 1971, Nixon is meeting with former Pennsylvania governor Raymond P. Shafer. Shafer heads a presidential commission on drug policy that Nixon has heard might be flirting with the notion of recommending the decriminalization of marijuana.

"You're enough of a pro," Nixon tells Shafer, "to know that for you to come out with something that would run counter to what the Congress feels and what the country feels, and what we're planning to do, would make your commission just look bad as hell."

Shafer begins to stammer. Nixon appears to be telling his commission, in advance, what to conclude.

"You know, it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob? May 26, 1971

War on Pony Tails
The Drug War Is A War Against Counter Culture by Paul Dougan

Harry J. Anslinger read into U.S. Congressional testimony (without objection) stories about `coloreds' with big lips, luring white women with jazz music and marijuana. "If he had bothered to check, showed at least 65-75% of all murders in the U.S. were then—and still are—alcohol related."
