Logging, paper and petroleum industries were in on it too.

Industrial hemp would make a huge difference in both our economy and the
world as well.

The effort wasn't centered around fucking with the Mexicans, but they
used the existing bias to shore up support for laws against "marijuana"
- most folks didn't even know they were talking about "hemp" until it
was a done deal.

Anti-marijuana laws have caused more problems for more people than
marijuana use would ever have done.

THC is one of the most benign intoxicants on the planet.

That said - daily use (not even all day... say... just at bed time) can
still result in amotivational syndrome.  I know, I know - that is
controversial (or downright discredited) - but if it were legalized I
would (if it were up to me) make the age of use somewhere around 25.

Even if the syndrome isn't real - widespread use among young folks would
result in a lot of them "settling" and not pursuing their education or
betterment of their position in one way or another.

Let the kids get giong on the path they want and then, if they desire,
let them use an intoxicant that doesn't cause a shitload of other problems.
