why is weed illegal

wouldent the tobacco industry want in on the potential revenues.du pont was in danger of loosing  its monoply on timber .theres the story of the hemp machine also harry anslinger the guy behind ;;reefer madness;;and linking mj to heroin etc.was proven to be in the pay of du pont.i heard they had drawn up designs for cannabis cigarette packets(tobac ind).. anslinger deliberatly  used the name marijuana to confuse people who grew hemp they thought it was another drug.to criminalize it before the machine was patented.anslinger was in law enforcement..you said you knew the story have you heard all i said before?

I am unfamiliar with the californian situation,maybe you could direct me to a link or site that gives the rundown?

sounds so!
i,ll have a search and get informed,will see from there,but what you say makes sense,same old story!!

have a look at th google earth pictures of the white house and capitol hill etc,from above and the streetmaps of new york they are no accident,a lot of rubbish has been written on the net but these are real .i,ll find the link.
respects.
ps george washington made everyone grow hemp as fencing,and wanted independce from uk.money made the silver dollar,probabaly why he got a bullet in the head!
apparently x percent of the dollar bill is made of hemp!
and i found an obscure document proving the american people still pay a tax to the uk queen!
the more you dig the more unreal things become!

I think tobacco industry is afraid of cannabis.
Cannabis can bring what tobacco cant ( satisfaction, rich smooth taste, and a worry-free outlook on life).
No one ever phoned me to go smoke tobacco all night and have great fun, but woth cannabis this happens.
The alcohol industry also knows : weed makes people drink less booze.

And yes Big Pharma is in on it too : they hate the idea anyone being able to grow their own effective medicine.
Cannabis is a nightmare for the established industries.
