Although many of these books were classified as works of “non Fiction” at the time of publication. Many of them (using today’s standards) would today be classified as works of just about anything BUT. Here (see the next webpage for an example of one of these golden wonders), we will leave it up to the reader to determine what was truth and what was fiction.
[NOTE: This list is far from compete and consists solely of books that the museum had been able to view. Additionally (it is admitted) that NOT ALL of these hardcover books can be considered as belonging to the Reefer Madness genre. Thus this Index should be seen solely as a starting point for the student of Reefer-ology.
1912 - AN ESSAY ON HASHISH By Victor Robinson:
This scarce book records Victor Robinson's self-experimentation with cannabis indica. Robinson was a prolific contributor to the history of medicine. It was written BEFORE marijuana and hashish became legal issues. As such, it is a truly objective evaluation. New York, Medical Review of Reviews, 1912, 1st edition --- Bull, this book is mostly about a hashish party, not ever worth the read. - [Not a reefer madness book] [Non-Fiction]
19?? - The Smokers of Maconha: Effects and evils of the Vice
By Rodrigues Doris translated from the Portuguese
1922 - The Black Candle, by Murphy, Emily F
This is the book that inspired Canada's drug war of the 1920's. 405 pp., photos, index, 8vo Index. B/W photographs of opium dens, drug addicts, and paraphernalia seized by police. 8vo. Orange cloth decorated w/picture of an opium pipe. The author was Police Magistrate and Judge of the Juvenile Court in Edmonton, Canada. She writes about drug addiction and drug trafficking in Canada. Graphic, artistic cover also has illustrations of a person smoking drugs and a body being carried by black figures. Book is in fine condition, like new, with clean, bright, immaculate covers; tight, solid hinges; and crisp, clean, bright white pages. "The Black Candle, which now may be dismissed as grim humor or condemned outright as propaganda, was a landmark both in the life of its crusading author and in the history of Canadian drug legislation." This edition, a facsimile of the original 1922 publication, is a reprint of Canada's first book on drug abuse. A clean, attractive, near-new book, this historical treasure of an early Canadian perspective would be an attractive and desirable addition to any library. -- [museum note - only one chapter deals with hashish, but it sounds like Harry Anslinger himself wrote it.]

Pub: - The foundation for narcotics Research and information, Inc. 150 5th Ave. New York, N.Y.
High School Text Book - 1 star Reefer Madness rating:
This book was originally written as a high school textbook for teachers and students. It deals mostly with alcohol, tobacco, and narcotics in general (with Mariahuana thrown in as a minor narcotic). In fact less than a whole page is devoted to Mariahuana; as such it verily qualifies as a Reefer Madness book. However, what is interesting about the book is how it develops its arguments against narcotics in general. These same arguments would soon be used in the fight against the medical marihuana plant.

"Only a few months ago a twenty-year-old girl stood before a New Jersey court and confessed the slaying of a man, Padrone[ ] , from whom she and an eighteen-year-old girl companion had stolen an automobile. Asked how and why she had gotten into a life of crime (this, she confessed, was her third holdup), she declared that the smoking of marijuana cigarettes had led directly to her downfall. Several months before this she had been painfully injured in an automobile accident, and a "boy friend", had given her some "reefer" cigarettes to ease her pain. In a short time she found herself an addict to the drug, hopelessly held in its toils. "Those marijuana cigarettes I smoke made it seem right to steal autos and commit hold-ups," she testified in court. "Of course, in between times I knew I had done wrong: but another marijuana cigarette soon took away all this guilty feeling, and I was ready for another stick-up." So she stood before the law, a confessed murderess, and listened to the district attorney demand the death penalty both for her and for her girl companion. The jury brought in a verdict of "murder in the first degree." Because of her youth, she did not have to go to the electric chair: but a sentence of life behind dark prison walls was the only alternative." Priceless

CHARLIE CHAN: DRAMA AT THE CROWN CIRCUS
-- DAILIES AND SUNDAYS 1/15/40-3/20/40 -- After serving an apprenticeship under Milton Caniff, young Alfred Andriola got his own strip--a daily/Sunday mystery adventure based on Earl Derr Biggers' popular Hawaiian-Chinese detective, Charlie Chan. Or rather, on Charlie's movie interpretation: Chan in this strip bears a strong resemblance to actor Warner Oland, who portrayed Charlie in a string of successful B-pictures. -- Andriola did good work on the series, writing brisk, entertaining stories and illustrating them with a handsome variation on his mentor's "Caniff-Sickles school" style. Pacific Comics Club has reprinted this collection from 1940. -- In "Drama at the Crown Circus," a murderous marijuana-pushing clown figures he's smart enough to outwit Chan. We know where that gets him! -- 6" x 9" 48-page book prints dailies and Sunday pages in black-and-white. Softbound, 2-color cover. [The museum has been able to obtain some of the original newspaper artwork from the 1940's, however it is not complete]
