Suburbanite Economist, Chicago, Illinois, February 18, 1930

In this gloved hand of a Southtown Economist report you see two yellow-papered marijuana cigarets, more frequently called “muggles” and “loco weed.”

In these two thin, seemingly innocent stems of dried, olive-green grass abides one of the great dangers to mankind, and, particularly, to thrill-seeking youth.

In those two crude, hand-made rolls is enough narcotics to start any man or woman or girl or boy on a fast road to physical ruin and, eventually, insanity of the worst degree and finally death.
