River,
you will actually find that the reasons you gave for the illegalisation of Marijuana in the USA in 1937 were merely the spin doctoring given by one of the sole political spokesmen as his reasoning to congress etc for the illegalisation.
This particular individual, who's name eludes me, was in fact on the board of directors (and a large investor) in the company which invented Nylon. This company was desperately trying to secure large Naval contracts for the supply of shipping rope and similar materials..... and guess what the competition was.
That's right - HEMP.
Hemp ropes were in use in the US Navy right up until the illegalistation of Marijuana (and its harmless derivative, hemp) as their no.1 rated and used rope for all purposes. Nylon rope eventually replaced it once hemp was banned and a certain previously mentioned "fat-cat" became a very rich man - especially as he pushed the illegalisation of marijuana worldwide and other nations' Naval forces etc started buying Nylon ropes as the previously used hemp alternatives became difficult to buy and illegal to make.
Moral of the story is: Behind almost every major law change and criminalisation act in the 20th century western world was an alterior motive which a single or group of individual posed to benefit substantially from.

Either way, i still dont like pot. I think it is gay, with aids.
