I've always wondered which Senators were paid off to exempt billboards from

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.


* "Phantom Numbers Haunt the War on Drugs"
* By Christopher S. Wren, The New York Times, April 20, 1997
*
* Politicians are said to use statistics the way drunks use lampposts: for
* support rather then illumination. The aphorism seems more apt for the War
* on Drugs, which abounds with statistical lampposts that shed lit
