My dad has been to Europe once: "I didn't have time to sight-see when
we hit the beaches though". He enlisted at 17, and was captured during
the Battle of the Bulge, which involved General Patton.

My dad said that when he saw fellow GIs in the German prison camp trading food
for tobacco and even adding wood shavings to extend it: that's when he decided
not to smoke.

I've always wondered which Senators were paid off to exempt billboards from
having their health warnings be the same proportion as those in magazine ads.
And how did they justify it?


Here is an example of our law enforcement's attitudes toward marijuana:

*   "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996
*
*   FBI Director William S. Sessions, questioned by the Senate Judiciary
*   Committee in March 1986, acknowledged that he once told one of his
*   assistants that he thought several Ku Klux Klan members accused of
*   lynching a black man "were OK until I learned they smoked pot".

This is a historically consistent view espoused by Government officials:

#   "60 Years of Reefer Madness", High Times Magazine, July 1997
#
#   1937: Harry Anslinger, head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, read into
#   official testimony (without objection) before Congress, stories of
#   "coloreds" with big lips seducing white women with jazz and marijuana,
#   claiming that 50% of all violent crime by blacks and Latino immigrants
#   has been traced directly to marijuana.
