It began with stupidity & ignorance & still reigns with the same...It was illegalized in 1937 (I do believe)...it was, like alcohol originally, uncontrolable in growth, resale, & use....it was a "weed" for crying out loud! But nonetheless, the governing wonders had no way to make megabucks on it, sooo Illegallize it & make money on the growers, sellers, users that way....still done for the same reason today.
Just for public knowledge...of the majority of ethnobotanical plants, cannibis is of the mildest varieties.

There is not enough money in it for the government if they sell it.They make more through the legal system for those caught with it(through fines).And if you do have to do time for it, the government gets an extra bonus with free labor from those caught.
