If you think that Jeff Sessions dislikes marijuana because he thinks it’s a Spanish word, you should look up some of the things Harry Anslinger (original US Commissioner of Narcotics, 1930-1962) had to say about it — a legacy of misinformation and bigotry that continues to corrupt public policy on the subject to this day. Here’s a sampling:
“Marihuana leads to pacifism and Communist brainwashing.”
“Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.”
“You smoke a joint and you’re likely to kill your brother.”
“Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.”
“The primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”
“Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.”
“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.”

Sessions isn’t outlawing weed, he’s just enforcing a law already in effect.

Time to repeal the stupid law.
