Sobre este artículo
Mountain View [CA]: Pacific Press Publishing Association, (1929). First edition. Small octavo. 91, [1] pp. luridly illustrated from photographs. Publisher's bright pictorial wrappers. Very good and sharp copy."Paperback pamphlets such as The Moloch of Marijuana by Rev.Robert J. Devine (1943), and evangelist Earle Albert Rowell’s Battling The Wolves of Society:The Narcotics Evil (1929) and On the Trail of Marijuana: The Weed of Madness(1939) fanned the flames of pot paranoia. So outlandish and over the top were the sensationalistic claims of these “educational” books that “the bureau attacked such apostles of fear". Anslinger wished the FBN to be sole source of publicity and educational materials. A few of the Rowell softcovers were issued by — guess who?— Pacific Press Publishing Association, a great thorn in the side of anyone trying torationally educate the public on drugs. Pacific Press Publishing Association also issued Plain Facts for Young Women onNarcotics, Marijuana, Liquor and Tobacco by Dr. Belle Wood Comstock (1938).
