For centuries the world has been aware of the narcotic menace.
We have complacently watched Asiatic countries attempt to rid themselves of DRUGS CURSE, and attributed their failure to lack of education.
We consider ourselves enlightened, and think that never could we succumb to such a fate.
But - did you know that - the use of Marihuana is steadily increasing among the youth of this country?
Did you know that - the youthful criminal is our greatest problem today?
And that - Marihuana gives the user false courage, and destroys conscience, thereby making crime alluring, smart?
That is the price we are paying for our lack of interest in the narcotic situation.
This story is drawn from an actual case history on file in the police records of one of our large cities.
Note: MARIHUANA, Hashish of the Orient, is commonly distributed as a doped cigarette. Its most terrifying effect is that it fires the user to extreme cruelty and license. See more »
