Just finished watching "Hooked: Illegal Drugs & How They Got That Way" on the Histroy Channel. The one that focuses in Marijuana anyway. It was quite enlightening. You can buy the set here: store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml
You can probably download it fro mvarious places too. But anyway, It went into the roles of Hearst, Anslinger, racism, immigration, crime rings & the great depression in getting marijuana feared & banned. It talked about the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1937...na_Tax_Act & the La Guardia Committee Report.www.druglibrary.org/schaffer...gmenu.htm
