I'm not 100% sure why MJ was made illegal, but I know that the 30's government made a propaganda film known as "reefer madness." If you have seen the film, they claim that MJ leads to insanity, wild sex orgies, among other b.s. shit. So I am guessing, as someone said, they think it leads to physcosis and mental illness.

I think the main reason government keeps it illegal, despite all of the facts and reports about hopw benificial MJ really is, is because they know anyone can grow it, and make profit from it. They don't get tax cuts from peoples private crops. They don't make any money from it, so why should anyone else.

MJ is also widely used as a medication as well. If they were to legalize herb and let people grow it to help them, the government will lose big time money from regular prescription drugs. They lose money, they get a wage cut, now those greedy fuckers can't do that now can they. They'd rather have money than knowing that they can help people without any ill side effects. Then again, that is how most of the world works.
