The Le Dain Commission Interim Report (1970)<\/a><\/h3>\n

In May 1969, on the recommendation of Minister of National Health and Welfare John Munro, the Government of Canada appointed a Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs. The commission became known as the Le Dain Commission after its chairman, Dean Gerald Le Dain. The 320-page Interim Report of the commission, published in April 1970, marked a turning point in official North American thinking about psychoactive drugs in general-and about marijuana in particular. The commission\u2019s Final Report is scheduled for publication in 1972.<\/p>\n

The Baroness Wootton Report (1968)<\/a><\/h3>\n

In April 1967, the Advisory Committee on Drug Dependence of the United Kingdom Home Office appointed a subcommittee under Baroness Wootton of Abinger (formerly Barbara Wootton, a member of the House of Commons) to inquire into marijuana and hashish use in the United Kingdom. Her eleven fellow members included several of Britain\u2019s most eminent drug authorities. The report of the subcommittee, published in 1968, confirmed in all substantial respects the findings of the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission, the Panama Canal Zone investigations, and the LaGuardia Committee report.<\/p>\n

The LaGuardia Committee Report (1939-1944)<\/a><\/h3>\n

In 1939, at the request of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia of New York City, the New York Academy of Medicine established a committee composed of eight physicians, a psychologist, and four New York City health officials. The committee studied marijuana smoking both under natural conditions in the city\u2019s \u201ctea pads\u201d and other marijuana centers, and in the laboratory. Its report was published in 1944, and reprinted in The Marijuana Papers (Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1966). This report is second only to the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission report in scope and thoroughness, and explores many areas of interest not considered by the Indian report. It is of particular contemporary importance because the pattern of marijuana smoking in New York City in the late 1930s that it describes was quite similar in many respects to the national pattern of marijuana smoking today.<\/p>\n

The Panama Canal Zone Military Investigations (1916-1929)<\/h3>\n

A succession of military boards and commissions inquired into marijuana smoking by American military personnel stationed in the Canal Zone, beginning in 1916 and concluding with a full-scale investigation in 1929 under the chairmanship of Colonel J. F. Siler, M.D., of the Army Medical Corps. Sitting with him were two lieutenant colonels, a major, a naval commander, and the chief of the Canal Zone\u2019s Board of Health Laboratory. Colonel Siler and his associates reported the findings of their own and earlier Canal Zone investigations in the Military Surgeon in 1933 (volume 73, pages 269-280).<\/p>\n
