WHY does no one, absolutely no one, ask why is 'marijuana' illegal? The records of history are not lost. The reasoning clearly stated in official government records. To provide law enforcement jobs for government alcohol tax revenue agents following repeal of alcohol prohibition in 1930's. Pushing for prohibition of marijuana for racist reasons that no good white politician could oppose. To persecute mexicans and blacks because of their association with the drug. Because of its use among black jazz musicians. Harry J. Anslinger did not like blacks or jazz, look it up. Never mind marijuana was legal over 160 years, USP listed medicine from 1850. When Richard Nixon later created DEA, his records and tape recordings reveal even worse racist directives. That is the real truth and reason so many have suffered, lost jobs, gone to jail, been denied medicine. And every one continues to accept that. Politicians will not answer letters or comment, simply ignoring the subject.
