I came across a document that everyone needs to read. It might make you think twice before picking up that mind altering drug known as "reefer".

The funniest part is the propaganda went from:
It is a drug that causes insanity, criminality, and death - the most violence causing drug in the history of mankind.
-by Harry J. Anslinger, 1937

to:

The strong form of marijuana that most young people smoke produces a chronically passive individual someone who is lazy, who doesnt want to take initiatives, doesnt want to be active the kid who prefers to lie in bed with a joint in the morning rather than getting up and doing something.
-by Roger Morgan, Chairman and Executive Director
for the Coalition for A Drug-Free California, 2010

Here are my top 7 quotes:

• 1.) "Marijuana will destroy the nation."
• 2.) "Prohibition of alcohol did work."!!!?
• 3.) "Marijuana smokers cause 18 times more injury accidents than alcohol."
• 4.) "Drug abuse almost always starts with a little puff of marijuana."
• 5.) "Heavy cannabis use is also associated with substantial bone loss."
• 6.) "Marijuana is not safer than alcohol. As with tobacco, nobody dies from overdose. But the altered mental state of users leads to accidents, domestic violence, birth defects, mental illness and a host of health problems."
• 7.) "The hoax of "medical marijuana" that now exists in 14 states is indicative of the infiltration of pro- drug forces that inflict more death, destruction and harm on America than all other forms of terror combined."

You can read the rest of my favorite quotes and the whole document itself here.
