Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing.Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men.Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind. Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother.
