Reefer Madness
In USA, an intense anti-marijuana movement coalesced with an anti-Chicano; since marijuana was associated with Mexican-Americans, a ban on marijuana was seen as a way of discouraging Mexican-American subcultures from developing.[2] The 1937 Marijuana Tax Act levied an almost prohibitive tax on the drug and it was alleged to be a "gateway drug" that lead to heroin use[3], as promoted by the film Reefer Madness.
