REEFER MADNESS ERA
PAMPHLETS BOOKLETS & LEAFLETS
OF PROPAGANDA

The following is an index of pamphlets that the museum believes, might be of interest to students of the Reefer Madness dis-information campaign.   Please note --as of the time of this website posting, we have not been able to obtain actual copies of any of the below listed materials.   We are simply going by the title names, or what others have said about them.   In other words, we believe them to have had something to do with the campaign, but please don’t sue us if it turns out that this was not the case.

Note that many of these listings come to us via the OCLC Inter-Library service.   Others came to our attention via internet auction sites etc.

ALSO NOTE, this is what is termed a “Working Index” meaning expect misspelled words, bad grammar etc.   The way we see it, we could either spend our time creating a beautifully well crafted Index, or we could have something we could work with.   Our choice was obvious.

BOOKLET ON MARIHUANA. Inside is an abstract of remarks at a "symposium on Marihuana" arranged by John Remig MD and held on March 28, 1939 at the Temple University School of Pharmacy. It begins "In the US, Marihuana is for the most part consumed as cigarettes - "reefers"...Two "reefers" are often sufficient to confer the desired effect and the smoke which is always inhaled, is retained a long time. Soon the smoker is aware of increased power and energy, and sometimes is enabled to recall things long forgotten. Often there is excitement, with ideas becoming disconnected, and the smoker realizes his thoughts and actions are under less control....sometimes there is a prolonged insomnia with delusions of persecution taking possession of the smoker, causing a violent, assaultive outbreak." It goes on in this vein, my favorite line being "Under the influence of the drug, the user can step from Philadelphia to the Panama Canal in three strides - he thinks, and does this within one second." 6 pages.

[Era 1939] THE COMMON AND MARIJUANA CIGARETTE
By C. H. L. Flatter
[Courtesy Ohio Historical Society] - W.C.T.U pamphlet (2 pages), dealing with both tobacco and Medical Marihuana cigarettes. “Mr. Anslinger, U. S. commissioner of narcotics, says, "No one knows when he places a marijuana cigaret between his lips whether he will become a calm philosopher, a joyous reveler, in a musical heaven, a mad insensate or a murderer. . . . "Sure. Us kids got onto it in high school, three or four years ago; there must have been twenty-five or thirty of us who started smoking it. The stuff was cheaper then; you could buy a whole tobacco tin of it for fifty cents. Now these peddlers will charge you all they can get, depending on how shaky you are. Usually though, it's two cigarets for a quarter." The officer questioned him about the gang's crimes: "Remember that filling station attendant you robbed-how you threatened to beat his brains out?" The youth thought hard. "I've got a sort of hazy recollection," he answered. -- OK to read, but not too much reefer madness.

[See UN section]
1965- Lambo (1965) compiled a list of crimes occurring in three West African countries during a recent two-year period. He claimed that users of cannabis had committed 51% of the 73 murders, 31% of the 263 cases of assault and battery and 26% of the 472 cases against women. ---The Report of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse Lambo, 1965. The researcher compiled lists of crimes occurring over a, two year period in three West African nations and recorded the number of offenders perpetrating these crimes. He found that approximately one-fourth of the offenders had previous convictions. Forty-seven percent of the 863 offenders convicted for false pretenses, 61% of the 2,880 convicted burglars and 54% of those convicted on charges of "culpable driving" were said to have histories of cannabis use. Many of these users, however, were also shown to have long histories of psychological maladjustment (p. 10). The researcher suggests that "the use of cannabis enhances suggestibility in certain individuals, and this may be a factor in the commission of crime, by these chronic abusers" (p. 11).

"The Truth about Marijuana: Stepping Stone to Destruction,' leaflet 1, No. 5 (Newark, New Jersey: The Essex County Youth and Economic Rehabilitation Commission, June 1967), n-p The Truth about Marijuana! at least according to the experts at...The Essex county Youth and Economic Rehabilitation Commission of Newark, NJ June 1967 This is an amazing piece of history. It's no wonder that people stopped believing what the government had to say on the subject of pot a very long time ago. This reprint of an actual government issued pamphlet states as, a matter of fact, that:
"Marijuana is a stepping stone to Destruction"
"The crimes committed by persons under the influence of "pot" are many."
And include "Rape, Robbery, assault , and MURDER!!"
"Killed wife then committed suicide after marijuana spree"
"Smoked two marijuana cigarettes, burst into hotel room, beat guest to death, then jumped through window 30 feet to the pavement breaking both legs, didn't remember actions"
"Attacked own daughter 13, after smoking reefers" and much more...This would almost be funny if it weren't for the fact that this was handed out by the youth authority and presented as fact. When you lie to get people to do anything, right or wrong, you discredit yourself and become ridiculous. The truly sickening thing is that here we are nearly 40 years later and there is a large percentage of the population that still thinks of this as truth. This is truly a must have for anyone interested in the cause of decriminalization today! Show people just how far off base the origins of the prohibition movement were and the tactics they used.

1968 - "Facts About Marijuana”
[Note – What the museum has is actually part of a book – “California State Peace Officers’ Training Series 33 – Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs”(1969) which contains the pamphlet as part of the book.]
Los Angeles Police Department, "Facts About Marijuana," pamphlet (Los Angeles: Narcotic Educational Foundation of America, n.d. [circa 1968]), pp. 7-8; Martin Lordi,
The Los Angeles Police Department, in conjunction with the Narcotic Education Foundation of America, has written, assembled, printed, and distributed a pamphlet entitled "Facts about Marijuana," which asserts the criminogenic power of cannabis. There seems little doubt that probably a majority of all law enforcement officers believe that marijuana is instrumental in the precipitation of criminal behavior.
In 1968 (no date appears on the publication), the Los Angeles Police Department distributed a pamphlet, "Facts About Marijuana," which included sections entitled, "Does Marijuana Incite Crimes of Violence?" and "Marijuana Crimes." The latter enumerated fourteen cases where marijuana was presumed to have been causal in the commission of crimes. It contains the introductory remarks: "In 1966 the Los Angeles Police Department conducted a survey into the relationship between marijuana and criminal behavior. Hundreds of cases were documented during a one-year period in which marijuana was involved as a factor of criminal behavior. The next several pages contain a few criminal cases selected from the survey to illustrate this relationship."
I wrote to the Los Angeles Police Department about this study made on the relationship between marijuana and criminal behavior. I received a reply from Clifford J. Shannon, Captain, and Commander of the LAPD's Public Affairs Division, which stated: "All available information from the 1966 survey on the relationship between marijuana and criminal behavior is contained in... the Los Angeles Police Department booklet, 'Facts About Marijuana.' The survey has not been published as a separate document." In other words, what was called a "survey" and a "study" was the collection of scattered cases wherein marijuana was supposedly connected in some way or another with the commission of crime.

1971
Probably the first detailed survey of the opinions of police officers was that conducted by a Stanford University law student in 1968. Part of this unpublished study has been summarized by Kaplan (1971) and is reprinted below.
Law enforcement agencies have continuously supported the existence of a strong causal relationship between the use of marijuana and acts of aggression and violence. In order to determine the nature and basis for this belief, sixteen law enforcement and narcotics officers were interviewed. The officers selected for the interview from each police department were those who spent the largest percentage of their time actually working with marijuana users. When the department had several officers working full time on narcotics, the officer In charge was interviewed, on the supposition that as chief officer, he would have the longest and widest range of experience with marijuana users. Of those interviewed, seven spent 100% of their time on narcotics problems; three spent 75% to 100%; I spent about 50%; and the remaining five spent 10% to 25%. All emphasized that of their narcotics work, a major proportion of the time is spent on marijuana problems.
