After the alcohol prohibition ended in the U S A, there were many underemployed cops, so they were put in a group that was later to become the D E A . The industrial hemp used to make rope etc was eventually phased out so there was no legal reason to grow it
PieEyedPiper Reviewed by PieEyedPiper on . Why illegal? Hi! I'm new to the forum, so I don't know if this question has been asked and answered, but I'm curious to know just why pot was made illegal in the first place. I've heard a few different things, none of which I'm sure about, but I figured here I could get the straight dope, so to speak. Thanks! Walt Rating: 5
