    Dr. Jennings is rabidly anti-marijuana because he is part of the reefer madness crowd that loves to push pills.  Marijuana was outlawed against the wishes of the AMA in 1937.

    "There is positively no evidence to indicate the abuse of cannabis as medicinal agent or to show that its medical use is leading to the development of cannabis addiction. Cannabis at the present time is slightly used for medical purposes, but it would seem worthwhile to maintain its status as a medicinal agent for such purposes as it now has. There is a possibility that a restudy of the drug by modern means may show other advantages to be derived from its medical use. "
