I had a conversation with a friend on Marijuana and why it was banned. It all has to do with a lot of propaganda from the 30's and time of prohibition. Y'see, if you couldn't have alcohol, you could have marijuana. Eventually ridiculous claims were made and propaganda films were being released (Reefer Madness anyone?). But my friend had told me he had seen propaganda films that made blacks look like they go crazy and randomly rape white women when they have marijuana.

All in all, propaganda and bullshit is why it's illegal now. I'd also love to see this inane War on Drugs stopped. Quit throwing potheads into prison and start focusing a bit more on the real criminals instead of making them.
