I am not aware that Harry Anslinger provided any reason for removing
cannabis from the pharmacopeia in 1942. As far as my limited
knowledge goes, Anslinger simply removed marijuana because he had the
power to do so. If he offered an excuse, I'd like to know what it was.

There was some serious concern over the sanctity of "white men's shadows" if I understand correctly.

sorry about the non-sequitur; the unattributed response was to this screed:
