I Control for stdte and federal governments. Marihuana is easy to get; It thrives on waste and dry land, yet responds easily to cultivation and can be raised in a backyard garden ; or flowerpot. It is a transplanted Indian hemp j known to botanists as cannabis indica or cannabis sativa. The I drug, cannabtn, is present chiefly in the leaf of the male plant, although | it is found in smaller quantities in ; the stalk and leaf. Its widest use is in cigarets, rolled from the dried flower, which sell for a nickel in the southwest, where the plant grows most abundantly, and from a dime to a quarter in New York. One or two cigarets produce a three-hour jag; continued use forms a habit and excesses easily lead to I insanity. From coast to coast, states are awakening to the menaces alarming spread. To date, according to the bureau of narcotics, thirty-four states have enacted laws forbidding ! its sale. In thirteen states, even i cultivation is restricted, since its original use—that of making rope and twine—has been found unprofitable here. In medicine, the drug also has been largely replaced by other substances. Except through customs laws which forbid its importation for

other than medical purposes, the government has no control over marihuana's production or sale, althrough the narcotics bureau has been instrumental in persuading states to adopt uniform restrictions. Since 1930, none has been imported legally. The effect of the drug on the human system differs from heroin, mo6t dangerous of all the narcotics, morphine and cocaine, in a way that makes its spread more alarming. Under its influence, the addict becomes reckless and believes himself possessed of superhuman strength. Hideous crimes often result; a state attorney at Albuquerque recently estimated that half of the violent crimes w’ere attributable to marihuana addicts. Florida w’as recently shocked by five ax murders committed by a schoolboy under the drug’s influence. Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, head of the United States public health service, says of its effect: “Its toxic effects are limited to the higher nerve centers. It produces first an exaltation, an increased feeling of physical strength and power. . . . Accompanying this exaltation is a stimulation of the imagination into a more or less delirious state characterized by vivid kaleioscopic visions.” Other medical authorities comment on errors of sense in addicts, such

as reaching for an object several feet away. “Pleasingly grandiose ideas and hallucinations’'’ and “an exaggerated idea of well-being” are described by one writer. Starting first in Mexico and among Mexicans in border states, in recent years the use of marihuana has spread among Negroes of the south and southwest, and gradually worked northward to replace to some extent the more expensive and strictly-controlled drugs. Today its sale is widespread in Harlem, according to Dr. P. M. Lichtenstein, medical assistant to the New York district attorney's office. There it is known as “muggles” and its addicts as “muggle-heads.” “Mary Warner” is another Harlem label, while in the south its addicts are often known as “mooters” or “reefers.” From the lower classes, according to the trail traced by the narcotics bureau, marihuana became a Greenwich Village fad and then spread to the more fashionable and smarter company of well-to-do thrill-seek-ers. Its use by school children has been discovered. Tomorrow—The History of Marihuana.
