FROM THE FILES OF THE L.A.P.D.
The following is part (complete report was never published) showing the relationship between the use of Marihuana and crime. At the time it was touted as proof that Marihuana was an instigator of and the cause of violent crime. We will let the reader determine that for themselves, it is presented here solely as proof that the L.A.P.D. has a history of none objective-ability on the subject.
Historical Note: For those historians out there, note the date of the study. This may be one of the last of the Reefer Madness studies conducted throughout the whole disinformation campaign.
