Failed drug screen, can I use my new authority?

You are correct that anslinger in 42 managed to federally criminalize it, and that as early as the 1910s many places in the midwest were making it illegal.

but "schedule" status was all nixon's war on drugs and the controlled substances act. Nixon himself told shafer "I want a ###### strong statement... one that just tears the ### out of" cannabis supporters. "

And who is it that enforces these things? The DEA, a body created by nixon...

Youre not seriously suggesting that Nixon had no beef with the hippies of the time? Im not citing the 94 nixon aide interview, im just looking at how everything he stood for and tried to implement (successful or not) was pretty antithetical and directly negatively affected the lives and lifestyles of the anti-war left of the time.

Maybe some of it was even a good idea, but the war on drugs, that wasnt part of it

 

No, brokers don’t care if you failed a drug test.

 

Before 42 it was still illegal. They just used the tax code instead of criminalizing it directly. And I didn't say Nixon had no beef with the hippies. I'm just saying he didn't initiate the federal campaign against marijuana and that he's not the reason it's illegal.

 

Probably not enough thc in some of that stuff to flag a drug test……….

 

I think the Nixon administration did come up with the idea, but they didn't actually start spraying down in Mexico until '75 when Congress bought them some helicopters. Ford was in office then. I don't remember if it was '78 or '79 when NORMAL sued to get the program stopped. The government tried to add an odoring agent to make the poisoned marijuana smell obvious so people wouldn't smoke it. But public outcry was pretty loud and I don't think Carter wasn't really that committed, so they scrapped the whole program. Then the Regan administration ordered the use of paraquat on marijuana fields in Georgia in the early 80's after it was discovered that it was being grown with the collusion of local law enforcement. Fun times.

I seem to remember paying $20 for the first lid I bought. That would have been around '75 or '76.

 

If you got one Spark it up…..

No it's true, he even moved to Muskogee!
