Why is Marijuana illegal?


Marijuana is Illegal because of racism, and the fact the an industry was afraid of it, and one man with enough money decided to do something to fight the flower.

Most Americans throughout history have known Marijuana as “Hemp” or “Cannabis”.
It was applied many ways, including to make paper, clothing, medicine, and all kind of things. The only problem was that once the slaves had been freed, there was no way to effectively smash all of the Hemp into pulp to use it.
Until around the 1920′s when an invention was made that could change everything, because it could do the work that the slaves had done before. This was called the decorticator. And it was going to revolutionize industry.
A man named William Randolf owned a bunch of paper based factories, and was going to have to convert from lumber, to hemp. It would have cost him a lot of money, and he didn’t want to do that. So he decided to start printing stories in his newspapers about this new drug called “Marijuana”, and told everyone that people were getting high on it and doing crazy things.
So they outlawed it.
But the people of America didn’t know that they were outlawing hemp, they didn’t realize that the “drug” that they were told was coming from Mexicans and corrupting our population, was the same thing that was about to revolutionize their world.
