that whole racism reason is so retarded. "Answer (how it really happened)
(to keep a long answer short; because the government can't profit of marijuana)
William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.
In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont's business."

The corporations sent lobbyists to illegalize marijuana because Hemp would ruin their businesses. You can make papers and plastics in a much more cheaper how theyr doin it today. So there was no way that Dupont or Hearst could compete with it, so they decided to pay off politicians to illegalize that shit!
livin life like some cheesy movie
