F—4 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, MAY 16, 1937—PART FOUR. U. S. FIGHTS MARIHUANA EVIL Pending Bill Aims Stiff Fines and Prison Terms at Drug Peddlers Responsible for Increased “Reefer” Smoking Among Youth of Washington. By William A. Bell, Jr. DOOR has at last been opened to effective control of the trafic here in marihuana, called by the Bureau of Nar- cotics the most dangerous of drugs. The House Ways and Means Com- mittee concluded hearings a week ago on a marihuana control bill by Chair- man Doughton, The bill is now being | considered in executive session. Its enactment not only would provide for Federal regulation, but would give to the District something it has never had—an effective means to combat the marihuana menace. Every State has marihuana legisla- tion of one sort or another. Thirty of them regulate the traffic under the uniform narcotic drug act. Seven pro= hibit cultivation. The Mexican gov- ernment bans cultivation or sale, pro- viding severe penalties for violations. Florida sends marihuana law violators to prison for as much as seven years. In Washington, however, all that can be done at present is to prosecute marthuana traffickers for practicing Ppharmacy without a license. Sole pun- ishment for this offense is a $60 fine, whereas the pending bill would pro- vide fines up to $5,000 and imprison- ment up to five years—not for un- licensed practice, of course, but for out-andsout illegal handling of marf- huana. The Doughton bill approaches mari- huana control through the back door, 80 to speak, for it is a revenue bill and not strictly police legislation. The revenue aspects are just a “front,” however, the real purpose of the bill being to stamp out illegal production, manufacture and sale of an insidious drug. It is not expected that Treasury receipts will be materially increased by the taxes for which the bill makes provision. Similar taxes on transac- tions in opium, morphine, heroin and “ cocaine contributed only $18,037 to| March revenues, and the proposed marihuana levies are substantially | lower. | An analogy is the conviction of Al Capone for income tax evasion. Vir- | tually every one knew the notorious | Chicago mobster was guilty of more‘ serious crimes, but it took the Bureau | of Internal Revenue to put him behind | the bars. Application of revenue laws was just a means toward an end. UNDER the legislation seemingly destined for passage, importers, manufacturers and compounders of marihuana would be taxed $50 an- nually; producers, $25. Physicians, dentists, veterinarians and other practitioners or researchers would be required to pay only $1. Each trans- fer of marihuana to any one not | registered with the Treasury and pay- | ing the special tax will be taxable at the rate of $100 an ounce, & prohibi- | tive levy because marihuana traffic is a matter of large quantities. The legal marihuana trafficker, hav- | ing registered with the Government, ! immediately becomes subject to in- spetcion by revenue collectors. He | must keep records showing the \xhole| history of a sale or transfer—the amount of sales, purchase price s‘nd} the name and address of the re- cipient. He must also record the amount of the drug in his posses- sion and if a producer, the location end acreage of the field where mari- huana is growing. This will enable the Government to keep tab on the marihuana supply end to discover whether any of it has been diverted into illegal chan- nels, and woe betide any one caught fooling with the stuff without a tax- payment receipt or other proof that his business in marihuana is open and above board. Lacking effective means of control the District, which otherwise has good | narcotic legislation, has an illegal | marihuana traffic that is, without | question, a problem, according to Har- | ry J. Anslinger, narcotics commis- | sioner. It will grow more serious, he says, if the pending bill doesn’t come to the rescue. That marihuana is a problem here Is shown by these facts: Two years ago the Narcotics Bu- reau made a survey in co-operation with the Metropolitan Police and Mwithin a week had arrested 15 ped- dlers. The only action that could be taken against them was to charge tHem with practicing pharmacy with- out a license. Last fall Federal authorities dis- covered a 3-acre marihuana farm in Dundalk, Md., on the outskirts of Baltimore. Their seizure amounted to 5 tons, an extraordinarily large haul. The product of the Dundalk weeds had been finding its way into ‘Washington in the form of cigarettes | peddled surreptitiously to youths as well as to confirmed “muggles” smokers. IN ORDER to show why Federal, State and municipal authorities are exercised greatly over the mari- huana menace it is necessary to out- line the history of the drug and to enumerate some of its evils. First, history: Development of the illegal traffic 4n marihuana in the United States has been rapid only during the last two years, but it long has been a serious problem in other parts of the globe, Egypt in particular. So grave is the situation in Egypt that the central | narcotics Intelligence bureau of that government published a 172-page il- lustrated report on the subject in 1934. Marihuana—other names are mari- $uana, hashish, hay, greefo, muggles, weed, Mary Warner, reefer, ganga or bhang (India), hachichet el keif (Syria and Lebanon), Kkif (Algeria, ‘Morocco), takrouri (Tunisia), djamba, liamba, riamba (Central Africa, Bra- eil), dagga (Southern Africa)—is the plant Cannabis indica, or rather the flowering tops of this plant and the leaves, each of which has seven ser- rated blades and yields a resiny sub- stance—the active agent of the drug. It's the burning of this resin in ciga- rette smoking that does the harm. Marihuana has been used as a pain- killer or anesthetic since 500 B.C., but its legitimate uses for this purpose are subordinate to its illegitimate uses as an intoxicant. A mild counter § ritant that encourages sleep and soothes rest- lessness, it is rarely prescribed by mod- ern physicians, for there are substi- tute drugs which are better and less harmful. Anslinger says, “Its im- portance in the pharmacopeia is not intrinsically indispensable.” Two months ago DraJ. Bouquet, in- spector of pharmacies, Tunis, gave some interesting side lights on the his- tory of marihuana in a report to a subcommittee of the League of Nations dvisory Committee on Traffic in jum and Other Dangerous Drugs. The custom of marihuana smoking, he wrote, is immemorial. “Knowledgs of it is kept alive to- day by narratives which wandering minstrels (singers and story tellers) spread everywhere in fairs and mar- kets, Moorish coffee shops, private houses when celebrations occur, etc. They relate such tales as the legend of the Old Man of the Mountains, ex- tracts or adaptations from ‘The Ara- bian Nights, and so on.” THE English word “assassin” has its origin in hashish. In 1080 A.D. the religious order or sect of Hashi- shan (Assassins) was founded in Per- sia, and the numerous acts of cruelty < of this sect were known not only in Asia, but in Europe. This branch of | the Shiite sect, the Ismalites, got, its name from the members addicted to hashish. To the Greeks the plant was known as “Nepenthe.” Homer lauds it in his “Odyssey.” Its effect upon the Malays, according to the Narcotic Bu- | reau, has been anything but laudable. Natives of the Malay Peninsula have been known, while under its influ- | ence, to rush out and engage in vio- lent and bloody deeds, with complete disregard for their personal safety or the odds arrayed against them. To “run amok” in the Malay Peninsula | is synonymous with saying one is| under the influence of this drug. Legend, which appears more truth than poetry, says Mohammedan lead- ers in their wars against the Crusaders utilized the services of individuals ad- dicted to hashish for secret murders. Now, as to effect: “Despite the fact that medical men and scientists have disagreed upon the properties * * * and some are inclined to minimize the harmfulness, the records offer ample evidence that it has a disastrous effect upon many of its users,” says the Narcotics Bu- reau. “Recently we have received many reports showing crimes of violence committed while under the influence.” In what the Treasury calls “the | most heinous crime of 1933.” Victor Licata, a marihuana user of Tampa, Fla., murdered his mother, father, sister and two brothers while they were asleep. The recent murder of a Michigan State policeman was com- mitted by “muggles” smokers. Rounded up in the Midwest not long ago was & gang of bank robbers with more than 30 hold-ups to their discredit. All were addicts. In Colorado, & man under the influence of marihuana attempted to shoot his wife, killed her grandmother instead, and com- mitted suicide. New Orleans was startled in the Summer of 1930 by & wave of bank hold-ups. Arrested, the youthful perpetrators were found to | be “reefer men.” THE plea that a criminal is insane while under the influence of marihuana has not held water in the courts. Counsel for a 25-year-old Puerto Rican, arraigned in Baltimore two years ago on a charge of crimi- nally assaulting a 10-year-old girl, entered a plea of not guilty on grounds of temporary insanity caused by marihuana, but the defendant was adjudged sane and sentenced to hang. Habitual marihuana users are said to develop a delirious rage, during which they are temporarily, at least, irresponsible and liable to commit violent crimes. Prolonged use of the narcotic frequently lands the smoker in a straitjacket. Dr. Bouquet observed that the merihuana “drunkard” often will feel as if his legs and arms had grown to Gargantuan proportions. He will have fits of spasmodic laughter. His sense of sound is affected, and a horror of noises assails him. Brightly colored spots and figures appear before his eyes. He sees motley, animated Lilliputian elves, small impish crea- tures of this sort and that. The imagination runs riot. Colored “reefer men” in Atlanta have been known to imagine themselves possessed of the ability to fly. They throw themselves from roof tops—end are picked up in baskets. “The drift toward a chronic condi- tion is very gradual,” Dr. Bouquet states. “The subject becomes less and less fit) for work; he is completely in- different to everything and the small- est effort becomes painful. At times gay, talkative and friendly, he abruptly becomes dejected, irritable and hostile .o Appetite disappears and the addict rapidly becomes emaciated.” It is still not known whether mari- huana is habit-forming in the ac- cepted sense of the term. Unlike opium, it can be “broken” without withdrawal symptoms. Deprived abruptly of opium, the addict will suffer terribly, not just mentally, but physically. Not 80 with marihuana or cocaine. A motorist drunk with marihuans is just as dangerous, perhaps more aleohol, | Carolina | 11th and N.C. Ave.8.E in parts of the Southwest. Now ft goes on everywhere. It's worst in a Northern State—Anslinger won't say which “because they're doing a fine Job of stamping it out.” Colored jazz orchestras often take to marihuana, though the players may not become addicts. It enhances their sense of rhythm in the playing of “low-down” music. A famous Mexican marching song contains references to marihuana; so does the well-known “La Cucaracha” (. “porque no tiene, porque la falta, marihuana que fumar”). Commercially, canibis indica has two or three legitimate uses. Paint and varnish maufacturers derive from 1t a quick-drying oil. They're exempt- WEEK OF MAY 18 Sunday Envmgmg more than three violations ed from taxation in the pending bill In minute quantities it is & compo- nent of most birdseed mixtures. The fiber in the stalk, containing none of the active agents, is used¢ for hemp, but has been replaced largely by sisal, 8 better rope for marine and other purposes. Marihuana cigarettes retail at from 5 to 50 cents each. The price usually depends on supply and demand. Some- times they can be had for two for & quarter, while at others a quarter buys six. A favorite rue of peddlers is to disguise reefers by putting them in a standard cigarette package. The bottom is steamed off the standard package and the contents adulterated or replaced with marihuana. Marihuana, unfortunately, is a young man’s drug. The average age of smokers probably is in the 20s. Unacrupulous vendors in the South and Southwest sell & lot to high school boys. Furthermore, statistics show drug addicts are the worst criminals. Bixty-four per cent of persons ar- rested in 1935 having previous crim- inal fingerprint records were vio- lators of narcotic laws. These, too, are the most habitual of criminals, each. The spread of the marihuana traf- fic, Federal authorities believe, has been due principally to these facts— that marihuana is cheap and that control over the illegal trafc in other narcotics has been increasingly effective.

There was not a cloud in the sky, except for minor arguments over the guardianship. ‘There was not & hint of the “big scare” we were to get before the first three months of the year had passed. My entry for New Year dey states simply: “Well, the new year begins quietly. Babes all very well, having fun play- ing with their toes and fingers. There is an undercurrent of unrest over the control of the children.” Bucceeding entries follow: “January 4: Have begun to feed the babes vegetable puree. They make quite a mess of things, but eat fairly well. The puree is given at the noon feeding. “January 7: The government hes declared that no one in any way may interfere with the health and welfare of the babes. ...

They were very friendly with him. Jmmry 8: Marie shows no bad reaction from the radium treatment. «...They all find their toes and her fingers in between each holler. Emilie gets her feet up and plays with the tassels on her bootees; she likes to pretend that she doesn’t want her bottle and then clings to it. Yvonne hollers loudly and slips her thumb into her mouth between times. An- nette does the same. For some rea- son or other, the last feeding of the day is the noisiest. They just can't wait for it. “January 12. We were asked today how we tell the babes apart. Yvonne has three long hairs, and when in doubt we pull them—or rather stretch them out. Annette is the prettiest— something rather square about her Jaw. Cecile has a very round face; she also plays with her fists more than the others. Emilie is the larger of the two smallest, and has a point- ed chin. Marie is the smallest and has a very slight cast in her eye. She is very dainty. “January 13. Added coddled egg yolk to their diet. They're rather fussy about it, but I think they will like it. It's funny to see the egg and vegetable all over the babies. They manage to slobber all over. “January 14. The babes are fed every four hours. They get 5 ounces each, with cereal in the milk. They get cod liver oil at 7:30 a.m., with four teaspoonfuls of orange juice. The cod liver oil is the cause of a face, but the orange juice is very good ‘They go out for three hours in the morning after their bath and break- fast. They get tomato juice at 3 pm, fresh clothes and a sponge bath after 4, feeding at 5 and lights out at 6 They sometimes fall asleep even be- fore the lights go out, especially Yvonne and Marie. “J:nunry 16. Ten below zero today. The children were kept in. They slept very little in their beds—spent most of the time playing with their toes and talking to themselves, and pulling their covers off themselves. “January 17. We need a lot of clothes for the babies. They use about 150 diapers a day. We need | about 50 to 60 dresses, shirts and socks to be really equipped . Marie is so tiny but so cute—not quite so forward as the others. Emilis is going to be a scamp. Cecile is go= ing to be pleasant and peaceful. An- nette is going to be a practical joker. Yvonne is going to mother the other four. “January 18. They love rattles and swing them around. They usually | hit one another with them when in ‘!he sun bunk. They are also begin- | ning to do a lot of kicking and punche ing, and we will probably have to en- large the sun bunk. They know | strangers and stare at them with fingers very interesting and are be- ginning to amuse themselves. “January 9: The babes weigh over 60 pounds! It seems incredible to see their chubby bodies, fat double chins and very apparent good health after having seen them so small and scrawny. They are going outdoors every day that weather per- ‘mm. and they certainly enjoy their | outdoor sieep. "JANUAEY 10: The vegetable puree is still being taken—not much, but every little bit counts. The chil- dren take fluids quite well from cups and drink water very nicely from a glass. “January 11: Each baby has a dif- ferent reaction to hunger. They know | the exact time of each meal, too. Ce- | cile gets very impatient and hollers DANCING. Wrists, | every few minutes. Marie plays with ' their great big eyes. Dr. Dafoe usually | says “Hello, bums,” to them. I for one believe he loves them much more than he lets on. “January 19. The quins are now getting egg, cooked vegetables, fruit pulp—apples, etc.—from a spoon, and the milk formula from a cup. They | rather enjoy their meals. They will | stop crying when we speak to them softly. They love to hear us sing, and gurgle and coo when we talk to them. | “Jmmry 21.
