    ^This is why it's illegal, you can thank the lies and racism of Harry Jacob Anslinger, DuPont(who one of the family heirs of the fortune, John DuPont, killed someone in a fit of rage), Andrew William Mellon, and William Randolph Hearst

    Isn't this the same cat who rallied against acid way back when Hoffman and Leary made it public?

    Anslinger actually at 1st really saw no need to make marijuana illegal and was more concerned with things like cocaine, but some states, mainly in the south/south-west were pushing hard for a federal ban on marijuana as a way to deal with a Mexican migrant workforce that was no longer needed in the depression. Anslinger was just a government man who saw a way to elevate himself and gain support.

    All drugs illegal drugs have their prohibition based on rascism.
    It still exists to-day.
    That's why mandatory sentencing guidelines for crack cocaine, preferred by minorities, are 3 times more severe than powdered cocaine, preferred by white folks.

    The reason why cocaine was made illegal is because of racism against blacks. In the case of black the main thrust of the propaganda campaign was to control the Black community and keep blacks from becoming successful. Articles appeared in newspapers which blamed cocaine for violent crime by blacks. Black Americans were painted as savage, uncontrollable beasts when under the influence of cocaine -- it was said to make a single Black man as strong as four or five police officers. (sound familiar?) By capitalizing on racist sentiments, a powerful political lobby banned opium and then cocaine.

    Alcohol kills more people than any drug but it's still legal. That to me is just crazy!
