Answer 1

Weed was made illegal so that corrupt people in positions of authority had a new income after first creating a market through the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s/30s.This law gave rise to crime syndicates which flourished and then needed a new bargaining chip once prohibition was repealed,\. If you want to control a people, get them onto a drug and then either tax it or make it sanctionable. The laws on Marijuana, in fact on all drugs are founded on the premise that they are harmful. In practice they are just there to ensure power to the few

Answer 2
