Default Re: Drugs

There is no page for that Magic.

Do note this though since you chose to post directly from wikipedia qqwref, you forgot THIS huge part right below what you plagiarized.
"Author Martin Booth notes that this etymology was popularized by Harry J. Anslinger in the 1930s, during his campaigns against the drug.[3] However, linguist Jason D. Haugen finds no semantic basis for a connection to mallihuan, suggesting that the phonetic similarity may be "a case of accidental homophony".[4] -Wikipedia-

Harry Anslinger was at the forefront of villanizing cannabis by calling it marijuana. This was most of what I was relating the term to. It also was called the devil's plant and was used racially to villanize it to whites, because jazz musicians were said to be the largest users. This led to saying it caused blacks to look at white women twice, go mad, and want to rob and murder people. This was all considered the time of "reefer madness," like the propaganda film was released to try and scare people from smoking it.
