HARRY ANSLINGER'S GORE – WISCONSIN
WISCONSIN - TEMPORARY WEBSITE
– LOCATION OF FUTURE WEBSITE
Due to lack of material resources, at the present time we can only post this temporary website dealing with the STATE OF WISCONSIN during the Reefer Madness Era. It is our hope to have a full website for the state running sometime in the future. But (again) due to lack of resources this will be a long while. For now we hope that this quickie, quickie will be of some help to researchers into the era.
WISCONSIN
A factor that seems rather odd to many as it seems that states where Industrial Hemp was actively being cultivated had few if any Gore File cases; Whereas the opposite was true of states with no Industrial Hemp growth.

MURDER
In Wisconsin, last March, an Indigent person suddenly shot a man while under the influence of MARIHUANA which he had been in the habit of smoking. --- The Union Signal (WCTU) Jan. 30, 1937 [date would have been March 1936]
MUSEUM NEWSPAPER INDEX:
NO, this index of (what may or may not be) Reefer Madness Newspaper articles is NOT COMPLETE and in fact is anything but. At best it should be thought of as a starting point for historical scholars doing research into the origin of the anti-Medical Cannabis laws.
