Page "La Guardia Committee" Paragraph 18

Published in 1944, the report offended Harry Anslinger, who branded it as unscientific.

Harry Anslinger denounced Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, the New York Academy of Medicine and the doctors who had worked for more than five years on the research, saying that they should not conduct more experiments or studies on marijuana without his personal permission.

So he did interrupt, between 1944 and 1945, each current research on derivatives of cannabis, and according to some personally commissioned the American Medical Association to prepare a position which would reflect the one of the government.

The study conducted by A. M. A.

between 1944 and 1945 on Anslinger's personal request, having as objective to disprove the statements of the La Guardia Report, leveraged again on racism, asserting that " of the experimental group, thirty-four men were black, and only one was white ", and " those who smoked marijuana, became disrespectful of white soldiers and officers during military segregation ".
