Title: HEALTH SCIENTIST BLACKLISTING AND THE MEANING OF MARIJUANA IN THE OVAL OFFICE IN THE EARLY 1970s<\/p>\n

Synopsis<\/p>\n

This story illuminates some of the ways that racism and bigotry informed cannabis policy in the Nixon white house. We break new ground by revealing how Nixon actively participated in blacklisting health scientists at The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) with empirical research. We show how the administration ignored policy recommendations from a congressionally mandated commission that cost tax-payers millions to produce.<\/p>\n

Reviews<\/p>\n

O\u2019Shaughnessy\u2019s: The Journal of Clinical Cannabis was the first review this story.<\/a> The reviewer reminds us that \u201c[I]t wasn\u2019t just marijuana that got prohibited, it was the truth about history.\u201d<\/p>\n
