Happy 4/20! lol

Every 4/20 we celebrate Marijuana:) I like to say it's Marijuana's Birthday. lol

Many people wonder why Marijuana is illegal, and that's hard to say. I know that it has been illegal for only 1% since discovered when the first settlers came to America.

According to Peter Guither at DrugWarRant.com, explains that the criminalization of Marijuana came from racism, fear, protection of corporate profits, Yellow Journalism, ignorant, incompetent and/or corrupt Legislators, and personal career advancement and greed.

For the longest time I really did think that it became illegal because of some foresting company fearing that Marijuana would take over the lumber business. Hmm, maybe a rumor??

While reading through the website, I came across a man names Harry J. Anslinger. He discovered the Bureau of Narcotics, and since cocaine wasn't giving him enough money, making Marijuana illegal was his next move. He did this by making Marijuana a race and violent issue. He was quoted saying statements such as: "Reefer makes Darkies think they're as good as white men" and "Marijuana is the most violence causing-drug in the history of mankind"

Hmm, he must be high. In my opinion (and this just might be me) but "Darkies" are as good as a white man, if not better. And! how could Marijuana be "the most violent causing-drug in the history of mankind" when cocaine can cause more damaging effects??

I honestly don't thing Marijuana is as bad as people say it is. I can really relate to Marijuana in the sense that people mistake it for something bad before giving it a chance. As a Black person I see (and get) that kind of thing many times. I think if Marijuana was a real person, she would be Black. lol ;)

Have a Happy 4/20!
