In the late twenty's early thirty's marijuana oil was found to be a great alternative for fueling cars, however this worried crude oil company's making them spit out extreme amounts of propaganda against the plant.

I am now 60 years of age. In my 20's and early 30's I smoked every kind of cannabis product available on a daily basis with no noticeable side effects. Then pot, as I knew it changed, it was unpleasantly strong. So I just stopped.
Since stopping, I have only smoked once and that was very little and by mistake. After being a non user for so long the effect was very unpleasant.
Crob85: The reason is racism, economics, and ignorance.
Hemp would destroy cotton farmers and other industries.
The US used cannabis as an excuse to ban illegal immigrants to help give jobs back to American citizens during the great depression, but they had to get everyone on their side. Their method, propaganda. Watch the movie 'Reefer Madness'

Whether you're a Mary Jane expert or a stranger to the effects of marijuana, you may want to know more about smoking weed. Can pot hurt you? Is growing cannabis illegal? Is ganja as bad as say, ecstasy? Does hemp you wear have the THC that causes a high?
Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in America, with 97.8 million people over twelve saying they've tried it! Marijuana is also known as weed, pot, dope, herb…you get the idea! The drug, which acts as a mild hallucinogen, is actually the bud and leaves of the cannabis plant. Weed is usually smoked, but it can also be mixed in foods or brewed as tea. When you smoke marijuana, you'll feel mellow, relaxed, and generally happy. You may feel very hungry, a phenomenon known as the “munchies.” But as your high continues, you might experience paranoia or confusion. You'll notice an increased heart rate and a loss of coordination. Excessive marijuana use can cause the same problems as tobacco smoking, such as bronchitis and emphysema. Despite its illegal status, marijuana is approved for controlled medicinal uses in several of the U.S. states. Marijuana has been illegal since 1937, and now you know the real deal with pot.
