  • 1969:  Timothy Leary gets the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 declared unconstitutional




Quote:

Case Basics
Docket No.:
65
Petitioner:
Leary
Respondent:
United States
Decided By:
Warren Court (1967-1969)
Opinion:
395 U.S. 6 (1969)
Argued:
Wednesday, December 11, 1968
Decided:
Monday, May 19, 1969
Issues:
Criminal Procedure, Self-Incrimination


(http://www.oyez.org)



Leary v. United States, 395 U.S. 6 (1969), is a U.S. Supreme Court case dealing with the constitutionality of Marijuana Tax Act. Timothy Leary, a professor and activist, was arrested for the possession of marijuana in violation of the Marijuana Tax Act. Leary challenged the act on the ground that the act required self-incrimination, which violated the Fifth Amendment. The unanimous opinion of the court was penned by Justice John Marshall Harlan II and declared the Marijuana Tax Act unconstitutional. Thus, Leary's conviction was overturned. However, Congress responded shortly after by passing the Controlled Substances Act to continue the prohibition of certain drugs in the United States.

Facts that triggered the dispute

The circumstances surrounding petitioner's conviction were as follows. On December 20, 1965, petitioner left New York by automobile, intending a vacation trip to the Mexican state of Yucatán. He was accompanied by his daughter and son, both teenagers, and two other persons. On December 22, 1965, the party drove across the International Bridge between the United States and Mexico at Laredo, Texas. They stopped at the Mexican customs station and, after apparently being denied entry, drove back across the bridge. They halted at the American secondary inspection area, explained the situation to a customs inspector, and stated that they had nothing from Mexico to declare. The inspector asked them to alight, examined the interior of the car, and saw what appeared to be marijuana seeds on the floor. The inspector then received permission to search the car and passengers. Small amounts of marijuana were found on the car floor and in the glove compartment. A personal search of petitioner's daughter revealed a silver snuff box containing semi-refined marijuana and three partially smoked marijuana cigarettes.

Legal reasoning of the court

a.“If read according to its terms, the Marijuana Tax Act compelled petitioner to expose himself to a "real and appreciable" risk of self-incrimination;
b. [The statute] required him, in the course of obtaining an order form, to identify himself not only as a transferee of marijuana but as a transferee who had not registered and paid the occupational tax;
c. Compliance with the transfer tax provisions would have required petitioner unmistakably to identify himself as a member of [a]…"selective" and "suspect" group, we can only decide that when read according to their terms these provisions created a "real and appreciable" hazard of incrimination."


(wikipedia)




In 1969 in Leary v. United States, part of the Act was ruled to be unconstitutional as a violation of the Fifth Amendment, since a person seeking the tax stamp would have to incriminate him/herself.  In response the Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. The 1937 Act was repealed by the 1970 Act.

  • 1976:  Keith Richards is arrested for LSD and cocaine




Quote:

That Time He Didn't Kill Anybody (1976)

"I'm a good driver," Richards wrote in Life, recalling a 1976 incident when he fell asleep at the wheel with his seven-year-old son, Marlon, in the back seat and was arrested after a crash. "I mean, nobody's perfect." The guitarist had been driving back from a gig in Knebworth, England, and plowed his Bentley into a tree. "Until five or six years ago, there was still my bloody handprint on the back seat," Marlon wrote in Life. "And on the dashboard, there was still the dent where my nose hit it." Richards, who was arrested when the police found acid in his jacket, later wrote, "At least we didn't hit anybody."

Yeah, it's sad.  :sad:

My question is, what was the law on marijuana from May 20, 1969, the day after the Marihuana Tax Act wasn't a law, to October 26, 1970, the day before the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 went into law.  That can't mean that marijuana was legal for a year and five months does it?  I'm sure if it had been, it would be a well known moment in history.  Anyone know?

Does anyone out there know what the law was between May 20, 1969 and October 26, 1970?  It doesn't sound like there was any law at all during that time, even though I know there must have been.

Based only upon what information you provided in the links and posts, and nothing more I would say that the only impact on marijuana during the interval in question was as to negate the ability of the Feds from arresting and convicting you on the basis of evasion of taxes.  You could still be arrested for possession under Federal and/or applicable state laws.

That is why it does not represent a "moment in history."

Okay, thank you for explaining that.  I think you might be correct about the fact that killing the act "only" (?) removed the ability to the Feds to arrest you for tax evasion. 

But how in the world can you say that this isn't a major moment in history?  The Marijuana Tax Act Of 1937 was the law that made marijuana federally illegal.  So even though marijuana continued to be illegal after this event, and the Feds just made a new law after this one was made unconstitutional, it's still an enormous symbolic victory for the pro-marijuana movement and a very important historical moment in general.

Well, since practically no one was being prosecuted under the Marijuana Tax Act except for the occasional example that needed to be made for political reasons (wasn't it Nixon who dubbed Leary "The most dangerous man in America"?) the significance is comparatively slight...and that is my point, not that it is insignificant in and of itself.

The short-term loss of the Federal Government's ability to prosecute under the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 was comparatively slight in effect when you consider what the overall effect would have been if there was a suspension of law at both the federal and state level as it pertained to the importation, sale, or possession of marijuana for the same amount of time.  That WOULD have been a big deal until the loophole was plugged by the Legislature.  My point is I do not think that happened.

N.B.

How can you say it's slight?  It's huge.  And how can you say that only a few people were arrested because of the act.  Anyone who was arrested for marijuana from 1937 to 1969 was arrested because of The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, which made marijuana federally illegal.  If you were arrested for pot during those 32 years, it was because of the law that Leary got declared unconstitutional, 44 years ago today.  The significance of this can't be overstated.  The idea that one man could get THE anti-marijuana law of its time overturned and cause the feds to scramble to enact an entirely new law is inspiring.  You should pay homage or at least show respect for what Leary did.  To diminish this achievement is so incredibly ungrateful.  This man fought a hell of a fight for us all, won this battle, and then you come on here and blow it off as if it were nothing.

No...you misunderstood me.  I'm taking only about the 17 months from May of '69 to October of '70.  Besides, it was NOT the entire act that was found unconstitutional even for that short period of time, just one small portion of it which was successfully litigated by Leary.

That sort of thing happens all the time.  Just happened with Obamacare.  Only those portions of the Act specifically at issue were found unconstitutional...the balance of the law still remains in full force and effect.

It is a fucking long case and decision.  Here is a tiny part:

LEARY v. UNITED STATES, 395 U.S. 6 (1969)
89 S.Ct. 1532
LEARY v. UNITED STATES.
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT.
No. 65.
Argued December 11-12, 1968.
Decided May 19, 1969.
Petitioner, accompanied by his daughter, son, and two others, on an automobile trip from New York to Mexico, after apparent denial of entry into Mexico, drove back across the International Bridge into Texas, where a customs officer through a search discovered some marihuana in the car and on petitioner's daughter's person. Petitioner was indicted under 26 U.S.C. § 4744 (a)(2), a subsection of the Marihuana Tax Act, and under 21 U.S.C. § 176a. At petitioner's trial, which resulted in his conviction, petitioner admitted acquiring the marihuana in New York (but said he did not know where it had been grown) and driving with it to Laredo, Texas, thence to the Mexican customs station, and back to the United States. The Marihuana Tax Act levies an occupational tax upon all those who "deal in" the drug and provides that the taxpayer must register his name and place of business with the Internal Revenue Service. The Act imposes a transfer tax "upon all transfers of marihuana" required to be effected with a written order form, and all except a limited number of clearly lawful transfers must be effected with such a form. The Act further imposes a transfer tax of $1 per ounce on a registered transferee and $100 per ounce on an unregistered transferee. The forms, executed by the transferee, must show the transferor's name and address and the amount of marihuana involved. A copy of the form is "preserved" by the Internal Revenue Service and the information contained in the form is made available to law enforcement officials. Possession of marihuana is a crime in Texas, where petitioner was arrested, in New York, where petitioner asserted the transfer occurred, and in all the other States. Section 4744(a)(2) prohibits transportation or concealment of marihuana by one who acquired it without having paid the transfer tax, which petitioner conceded that he had not done. Petitioner claimed in his motion for a new trial that his conviction under the Marihuana Tax Act violated his privilege against self-incrimination, and he argues that this Court's subsequent decisions in Marchetti v. United States, 390 U.S. 39, Grosso v. United States, 390 U.S. 62, and Haynes v. United
Page 7
States, 390 U.S. 85, require reversal. The Government contends that the Act's transfer tax provisions do not compel incriminatory disclosures because, as administratively construed and applied, they permit prepayment of the tax only by persons whose activities are otherwise lawful. Title 21 U.S.C. § 176a makes it a crime to transport or facilitate the transportation of illegally imported marihuana, with knowledge of its illegal importation, and provides that a defendant's possession of marihuana shall be deemed sufficient evidence that the marihuana was illegally imported or brought into the United States, and that the defendant knew of the illegal importation or bringing in, unless the defendant explains his possession to the satisfaction of the jury. The trial court instructed the jury that it might find petitioner guilty of violating § 176a, (1) solely on petitioner's testimony that the marihuana had been brought back from Mexico into the United States and that with knowledge of that fact petitioner had continued to transport it, or (2) partly upon his testimony that he had transported the marihuana from New York to Texas and partly upon the § 176a presumption. Petitioner contends that application of that presumption denied him due process of law. Held: 1. Petitioner's invocation of the privilege against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment provided a full defense to the charge under 26 U.S.C. § 4744 (a)(2). Pp. 12-29.

(a) Since the effect of the Act's terms were such that legal possessors of marihuana were virtually certain to be registrants or exempt from the order form requirement, compliance with the transfer tax provisions would have required petitioner as one not registered but obliged to obtain an order form unmistakably to identify himself as a member of a "selective group inherently suspect of criminal activities," and thus those provisions created a "real and appreciable" hazard of incrimination within the meaning of Marchetti, Grosso, and Haynes. Pp. 16-18.

(b) It is clear from both the language of the Act and its legislative history that, contrary to the interpretation which the Government would give to the transfer provisions, Congress intended that a nonregistrant should be able to obtain an order form and prepay the transfer tax. Pp. 18-26.

(c) Since the Act was clearly aimed at bringing to light violations of the marihuana laws, this Court will not impose restrictions upon the use of information revealed by the transfer provisions in order to avoid the constitutional issue. Pp. 26-27.

Page 8
(d) Petitioner's claim of the privilege was timely and, under the circumstances of this case, his failure to assert the privilege at the trial (which antedated this Court's decisions in Marchetti, Grosso, and Haynes) did not constitute a waiver. Pp. 27-28.

(e) By taking the stand petitioner waived his right to remain silent at trial but not, as the Court of Appeals erroneously held, his right to plead that the Act violated the privilege against self-incrimination; nor was the latter right waived by his testifying that his noncompliance with the Act had a religious motivation, since other parts of his testimony indicated that he was also influenced by an apprehension that by trying to pay the tax he might incriminate himself. Pp. 27-29.

Here is an interesting part of Leary's testimony from the lower court that was cited by the Supreme Court:


[fn49] Page 29 When first asked on direct examination why he had not paid the transfer tax, petitioner stated: "Well, I knew that I couldn't get such a permission. . . . I also know that if I had applied for such a [transfer tax] stamp I would probably subject myself to investigation. . . ." Appendix 86a. In response to a similar subsequent question, petitioner said: "I was very certain that I would not be able to pay the tax on the marihuana and that not only would it be taken away from me but I would be subjected to action." Appendix 87a. And when asked whether he had "an honest belief that you could not obtain [an order form]," petitioner replied: "I had a strong and honest belief that I could not get it and it would just cause a lot of publicity and trouble for both the government and myself. And I am not trying to cause trouble. . . ." Appendix 89a.

N.B.

fuck motherfucking yeah motherfucker
I can see why you are a fan of Leary. Many people hate because he revealed their psychedelic secrets in a way that left much to be desired. He understood better than anyone the power of one. A single supreme court case, and all the draconian drug laws of this country can be overturned.

I googled asper-sleep and could find nothing on it.  Guess it wasn't a "thing" for very long.

I love how theres an ad for a truly dangerous, totally legal and attainable drug on the same page as an article about legalizing a totally natural and similar-to-brain-chemistry plant drug ?

45th anniversary of Keith Richards being arrested for LSD and cocaine. I read somewhere that he was found not guilty of LSD possession, but there was no documentation.

And LSD. I guess he had LSD on him, which is why he's in today in psychedelic history.

Asked AI about the period in between:

Therefore, between May 20, 1969, and October 26, 1970, while the Marihuana Tax Act was not in effect, marijuana was effectively legal at the federal level due to the Supreme Court's ruling in Leary v. United States. However, this situation was temporary, as the subsequent passage of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 reinstated marijuana's illegal status under federal law.

Never really read much into the Leary stuff and the Tax Act, that's actually pretty wild. :mushroom2:
