But I am a stickler for logic.
It's easy to see why murder was banned. It's not so easy to find out exactly why cannabis was banned 70-odd years ago.

Paper, timber, and synthetic fabrics, come to mind. Also pure racism was used to sell the lie.
“It’s not so easy to find out exactly why cannabis was banned 70-odd years ago.”
I understand. It makes people stupid, irrational, and irresponsible.
These aren’t victimless crimes.
The first puff or the first week don’t make you nutty, but prolonged and/or intense use does.
This is fine if you live on your own private island; but you don’t. So we are subject to your deliberately induced stupidity, irrationality, and irresponsibility if you decide you want to smoke pot.
Some think that’s not a big deal. Having been on the receiving end of intense abuse from a paranoid regular pot smoker, I do think it’s a big deal. I therefore oppose legalizing recreational pot use.
It was outlawed to keep Mexicans from corrupting the virtuous purity of white women.

Sure it is...but it's not pretty.
