Marijuana was originally outlawed as a means to discriminate against the growing southwestern U.S mexican population in the 1920's. It was used solely by mexicans and in poorer all black areas so no one really cared at the time (I think there also may have been economic issues associated with the ban as well something such as southern farmers were worried about the effect marijuana may have on cotton and tobacco crops.)
