It's actually a fact: "Marijuana was first outlawed in 1937. Not long after, the feds planned to conduct a national raid to round-up black jazz musicians who smoked pot. The plot failed because the agents couldn't infiltrate the "jazz milieu."" _http://www.talklefthttp://www.http://www.http://ww_ (http://www.talkleft.com/story/2003/06/01/405/84468) Which refers to an article (link provided) in the NY Times. This has been a long known fact in the drug culture. The image of FBI agents trying to infiltrate the jazz scene is hilarious. But my point is, if it's just a tool to imprison African/Americans, why would they stop with drug laws? **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
