A random reminder that the horribly racist Harry J. Anslinger murdered Billie Holiday and should be posthumously stripped of all awards and honors. And the FBI agents who blocked doctors from caring for Ms. Holiday should be damned for eternity.
To be fair, there's a substantially greater typical appreciation of history in this group than in the general population. Even those of us who barely remember the DARE years tend to learn about drug history going further back, one way or another. Anslinger is on my short list.

Fuck him and Harry Anslinger forever
Two years after former President Richard Nixon launched a war on drugs in 1971, he was recorded saying that he knew marijuana was “not particularly dangerous.” The remarks were part of a set of tapes that were only recently made widely available.
President Richard Nixon’s remarks were captured on his secret White House recording system but had eluded the notice of leading Nixon era historians until now.
I work in public health. Was learning about cannabis prohibition. Googling this horrible Anslinger guy. First suggested google search when typing in “Anslinger” was “Anslinger’s demise strain” huehue
Charles Brent, der Initiator, war in hohe politische Kreise eingebunden. Anslinger, Nixon, Ehrlichmann Rassisten im Dienst der Prohibitionsprofiteure. Die gesamte Gesellschaft litt als Cannabis verboten wurde. "Teufelskraut" ist ein Begriff des Substanzfaschismus.
