[QUOTE="Heresy, post: 863007, member: 540683"] The original reason behind the illegalization of marijuana is because the cotton industry was afraid of the emerging hemp market. Hemp is stronger and more durable than cotton and new technology post-WWI era made hemp more economical to produce than before. So, the cotton industry started a PR campaign against the hallucinogenic effects of smoking the leaves of the plant that produced hemp while at the same time sending lobbyists to Washington. The primary reason it was banned was not because it could make you high. Coincidently, hemp products are still relatively scarce in the US because of the high tariffs placed on them which is again because of protectionist policies influenced by the cotton industry.
