Marihuana is sometimes used as a means to white
slavery. While we were lecturing in the smaller towns
about a large Midwestern city recently, we heard repeated
rumors of girls' having mysteriously disappeared.
It was feared they were in the metropolis, the
victims of white slavers. Frantic mothers, whose
daughters had disappeared, told the sheriff strange
stories of rumors connected with marihuana.

One Saturday night, accompanied by a squad of
deputies, the sheriff raided the disreputable houses of
the city, and found some of the missing girls "working"
there. Almost without exception, their stories
revealed marihuana as the bait and cause of their
downfall.
