Marijuana Report of the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission: 1893 - 94: by John Kaplan: Professor of Law, Stanford University: Silver Spring, Maryland:
The issue 70 years ago was whether General Motors (GM), Standard Oil of New Jersey, and the DuPont corporation should begin putting tetraethyl lead into gasoline. At that time, the toxicity of lead had been well-established for 100 years,[4,pg.76] but a new gasoline additive was needed by the automobile and petroleum corporations and lead suited their purposes.[4,pg.6] - In 1923, the automobile industry was booming. In 1916, 3.6 million cars were registered; in 1920 the number was 9.2 million and by 1925 it would be 17.5 million.[5] Prior to 1920, Ford had grabbed the lion's share of the market by mass producing the standardized Model T but General Motors developed a successful strategy for overtaking Ford. - On February 1, 1923, in Dayton, Ohio, leaded gasoline went on sale for the first time.[4,pg.90] - Leaded gasoline was produced by the Ethyl Corporation --a joint venture of GM, Standard Oil of New Jersey, and DuPont.[4,pg.105] Tetraethyl lead is at least as toxic as normal metallic lead, but with this difference: tetraethyl lead is a volatile liquid, readily absorbed through the lungs and skin. Almost immediately, workers began to be poisoned. At Standard Oil's Bayway, N.J., facility, 5 workers died and 35 suffered severe palsy, tremors, hallucinations and other serious symptoms of nerve damage. Several of these workers spent the rest of their lives confined in insane asylums. - In 1924, General Motors and DuPont paid the federal Bureau of Mines to investigate the hazards of lead from automobile exhausts

The Evolution of Marijuana Law: Chapter Six: The Question of Marijuana: Still Unanswered: by Lawrence Miller:page 197: is about the lobbying for Marijuana Tax Act: assuring farmers that production of fiber, oil, seed cakes will not be damaged - Scientists find the THC content of wild marijuana in Kansas to peak at 0.06 percent in flowers, the most potent part of the plant. That level is far below the amount that French law specifies for fiber Crops. THC content of sample Indiana leaves is 0.10 percent to 0.50 percent. applying the French formula to wild marijuana descended from hemp crops in Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, & Illinois yields X values of less than 1.

British Medical Journal - CANNABIS AS MEDICINE: TIME FOR THE PHOENIX TO RISE? - Since 1971 British doctors have been barred from prescribing cannabis under the Misuse of Drugs Act. Many otherwise law abiding people have subsequently thought it worthwhile to expose themselves to the risk, inconvenience, and expense of obtaining illegally a drug they believe can ease symptoms inadequately controlled by conventional medicines. Patients have told me how effective cannabis can be in relieving aches and pains, numbing the symptoms of opiate withdrawal, improving sleep, reducing anxiety, and alleviating the vomiting, anorexia, and depression associated with AIDS related disorders. Anecdotes such as these are all very well, but is there any scientific evidence that cannabis has real therapeutic value? - The BMA has addressed this question with an excellent report, which begins by reviewing the pharmacology.(1) Only a few of the 60 or so chemicals unique to Cannabis sativa (cannabinoids) have so far been studied,

Moynihan, a member of the Foreign Relation Committee, and former vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Evidence as early as 1979 Soviet growth coming to a halt.
