The laws began to change more against ganja in the early 1900′s after it began to be used less industrially. The 1937 Tax act was a major act that basically penalized people for selling it and not paying taxes on it…umm…
This act was established after many smoke houses and opium lounges began to pop up EVERYWHERE. With Ganja not being used for things like paper production and fuel purposes, the plant wasn’t considered to be as valuable as it was in the earlier industrial ages.
The final act that made Ganja completely illegal is: the 1970 Controlled Substance Act. This act classified ganja as a schedule 1 drug.. Schedule 1 drugs are drugs that are classified as having no medical value. They are also categorized as being highly addictive. May I personally say now… IN ALL MY YEARS OF LIVING, I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE BATTLE A GANJA ADDICTION…
It’s funny how the same plant that the US government encouraged American farmers to grow during WWII is now a menace to society.
