Apparently marijuana was in the files. They were speaking how people who smoke marijuana are harder to manipulate because it makes us open our mind and question things more, whereas alcohol does the opposite effect. Which is why alcohol is promoted while marijuana is demonized.
and opium was banned to give the police a reason to prosecute chinese migrants while laudanum was left alone because it was the opium that white people used.
i think it's fascination how much you can learn of a person's world view by how they regard these drugs.
