NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN NADLER SAYS PROPOSED MARIJUANA LAW WOULD ADDRESS RACIST LEGACY OF “WAR ON DRUGS”
[Congressional News\Marijuana]
Rep. Nadler: “It was only in the early part of the 20th century that marijuana began to be criminalized in the United States—mainly because of misinformation and hysteria, based at least in part on racially-biased stereotypes connecting marijuana use and minorities, particularly African-Americans and Latinos. In 1970, when President Nixon announced the War on Drugs and signed the Controlled Substances Act into law, the federal government placed marijuana on Schedule I, where—unfairly and unjustifiably—it has remained ever since.”
