...Vices for One? Then there are the physicians and lawmen, like Commissioner Giordano, who indict marijuana on three counts: 1) it builds up an addictive need for continued use, 2) it leads often and almost inevitably to the use of hard narcotics such as heroin or to LSD,* 3) it impairs mental functioning at least temporarily and may damage the mind permanently or even destroy all rational mentation...

...drug is not a narcotic in the medical sense. It is not physiologically addicting, so there are no withdrawal pangs. There is little or no buildup of tolerance that would lead to the use of increasing doses, as is the case with the true narcotics-opium, its refined extracts (heroin, morphine' codeine) and their synthetic substitutes. Additionally, Dr. Mikuriya reported, cannabis is so nearly nonpoisonous that to kill one mouse requires 40,000 times the dose that makes a man high.

...which he brought in from Tangier aboard his chartered yacht. He bootlegged gold coins into Algeria by stuffing them into the innards of frozen chickens, cleaned out the numbered Geneva bank account of a wealthy Casablanca doctor by posing convincingly as his brother. Posing on another occasion as a heroin pusher, he conned two U.S. Narcotics Bureau agents into laying a trap for him, and slipped the noose with $12,000 in exchange for several bags of what proved to be merely powdered sugar...
