12 Ansliger was appointed to the position by Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon, his wife's uncle. In 1930, Harry Anslinger, became the first director of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics.

As early as 1913, The Salt Lake Tribune, under the headline, Evil Mexican Plants that Drive You Insane, reported that вЂњmarijuana make(s) the smoker wilder than a wild beastвЂќ 11 and provided anecdotal evidence of average people who became murderers after smoking cannabis. Hearst newspapers published a steady stream of anticannabis stories, but they were not alone. вЂ™вЂќ 10 In one of the most bizarre claims, the article claimed one could grow enough cannabis in a window box to вЂњdrive the whole population of the United States stark, raving mad.вЂќ 10 Smoke marihuana cigarettes for a month and what was once your brain will be nothing but a storehouse for horrid specters.вЂќ 9 In 1928, a Hearst paper reported that вЂњmarijuana was known in India as the вЂmurder drug,вЂ™ it was common for a man to вЂcatch up a knife and run through the streets, hacking and killing every one he. ** In 1923, a Hearst paper reported that вЂњMarihuana is a short cut to the insane asylum.

Historians continue to debate whether the anticannabis campaign leading to the passage of the MTA was for the economic benefit of William Randolph Hearst, the Dupont Corporation, and Andrew Mellon, one of Dupont's investors.

In 1850, cannabis, a plant with a history of medical usage for thousands of years, was listed for the first time in the United States Pharmacopeia, third Ed., as вЂњExtractum Cannabis or Extract of Hemp.вЂќ 3 The listing continued until 1942, 5 years after the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act (MTA) of 1937. From Frankenstein*, 1 to Stranger Things, вЂ , 2 the consistent message is that humans should not try to become gods.Д¬annabis falls into a different category. The stories rarely end well, and they are played as cautionary morality plays. Popular culture has created a cottage industry on the dangers of the brilliant but arrogant mad scientist and the incompetent amateur, who stagger into unknown and dangerous waters. We challenge legitimacy by questioning methods, researchers, funders, bias, and myriad other means. To keep everyone quiet, Al and Pete holds everyone hostage in the abandoned cottage near the murder site.Scientific research depends on legitimacy.
