Sending someone to prison for 93 years or even 20 years for a “marijuana crime” shows the delusions Oklahoma operates under.
The real question is why any sane people want to punish a man because of absurd racist fictions:
“Marihuana influences Negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men’s shadows and look at a white woman twice.”
— Hearst newspapers nationwide, 1934
“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana can cause white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.
“...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”
— Federal Bureau of Narcotics Director Harry J. Anslinger, 1930
“Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality and death.”
“[Smoking] one [marihuana] cigarette might develop a homicidal mania, probably to kill his brother.”
— see U.S. Government Propaganda To Outlaw Marijuana www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/hemp/taxact/t3.htm
Obviously the people of Oklahoma are exceedingly stupid to uphold such lies.
William Joseph Foster’s punishment because of lunatic marijuana laws should end.
