      sure they had something to do with it, there’s no example of US fuckery that doesn’t involve industrial protection of some kind.

      I’d wager also that tobacco and alcohol fought marijuana as hard if not harder than the GOV’s position a lone.

        Fair enough. My history books always blamed the cotton industry, but it does make sense that others would be involved. Thanks for taking the time to answer!
