Reply to comment by Quirtee in TIL John Steinbeck IV wrote an article in January 1968 about marijuana usage among the troops. This set off a media firestorm, & the Army began clamping down on marijuana usage, arresting ~1000 G.I.s a week for possession. Many G.I.s switched to heroin, which was odorless and thus harder to detect. by The_Critical_Cynic

Reefer Madness is the greatest anti-anti-marijuana media piece ever. The difference between how they show people smoking weed and how people actually smoke weed is fucking hilarious.
