People can say what they want about Marijuana but this is the exact reason it was scheduled in the USA

Mexico was making a lot more money on Marijuana in the early 20s and thirties so the USA made it illegal. Then used Propaganda to support wrong claims.

Marijuana was criminalized in the early 20th century, primarily due to misinformation and fear-mongering campaigns that portrayed it as a dangerous substance. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 prohibited its use and cultivation, classifying it as a narcotic drug without a valid medical use. Later, the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 classified marijuana as a Schedule I drug, further solidifying its illegal status in the United States.
