Though it's a little tedious, the Martin Lee book Smoke Signals also has quite a long entry on the illegality of cannabis.

But seriously, while this isn't news to me personally, thanks for sharing it's quite an interesting story, really. Even if it is a complete crock of bullshit half these things were ever made illegal, it's still interesting to discuss these topics without the need for a tinfoil hat an a list of pseudonyms haha
