Edited by Ed. Sanders. Mimeographed magazine from New York City LEMAR (an early organization for the reform of marijuana laws). "The MARIJUANA NEWSLETTER will print position papers, medical testimonies & general information about the campaign to legalize marijuana. We shall agitate! We shall print the data. We have the facts about marijuana, the gentle benevolent herb." Edited by Randolfe Wicker, Ed Sanders, Peter Orlovsky and C.T. Smith. Published by Sander's Fuck You Press (although the Fuck You imprint does not appear). Prints a long text by Burroughs. "William Burroughs Answers Jim Bishop!" as well as articles on marijuana, and more. One of the scarcest underground magazines of the sixties, desirable as a rare Burroughs appearance, an early marijuana reform item, and a publication from Sander's notorious press.
