This period is also directly responsible for the association between Mexican (and via general racist ignorance, most latinx coming from central and south america) immigrants and Mexican American folks and marijuana.

The criminalization of pot started around this time as a tool for the southwestern and Western States to fast track deportation of Xicanx peoples.
