Indeed, I too have no respect for individuals who use drugs. They are social deviants, each and every one; and because they have no souls, a particularly fiery corner of hell awaits them in the afterlife.
I own an issue of Playboy magazine from February of 1970 that has a great panel discussion on "The Drug Revolution." In it, several dimwits like William S. Burroughs, James Coburn and Joel Fort M.D. actually suggest that adults can successfully engage in harmless, recreational drug use while holding down a full-time job -- even supporting a family!
The only panel member I could see eye to eye with was Harry J. Anslinger, who graduated from Penn State in 1915 and obtained his law degree in 1930 from American University. A distinguished civil servant, he served under nine presidents and was once the Assistant Commissioner of Prohibition. "He helped make the dry years dry," the article adds.
He had some poignant quotes:
"Supposedly harmless marijuana smoking is regarded by several doctors as a sign of incipient insanity. Marijuana may even cause psychosis."
"A person under the influence of marijuana can get so violent that it takes about five policemen to hold him down!"
"The American Medical Association, the World Health Organization and the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs have all stated that marijuana has no medical uses and should be considered a social menace. We don't need any more research to show that. I challenge you to name one doctor who has reported a beneficial medical effect of marijuana, outside of the backward areas of the world and that 19th Century folk medicine you [Fort] were mentioning."
