According to Adam Ruins Everything/College Humor, Weed is being banned for absolutely no reason. Most facts stated here are commonly known, but the reason why weed was banned in the first place is more shocking. Believe it or not, Weed was banned as a racist smear campaign against Mexicans and later on was banned state wide in all 50 states with the help of President Richard Nixon and his 'war on drugs'! Watch the video above for all details.
The saddest thing is, even with hundreds of thousands of pages of of real scientific information readily available, there are still people who believe the old government-sponsored myths about marijuana. I never really realized how willfully ignorant some folks are about this until I started seeing lawn signs telling people to vote against legalizing medical marijuana in this last election.
