I agree. In Aus they are raising the tax by 50 cents twice a year.
I'm growing my tobacco next year anyway hopefully and cutting down a bit.

Also racism isn't why they made ganja illegal. That was the excuse.
It's because they had a vested interest in synthetic fibers. Anslinger was supported by DuPont and pharma so clearly they wanted hemp and ganja gone.
So first in 1937 the tax was passed then.... you know the rest. I'm not gonna rant again, gotta sleep.
