You can blame William Randolph Hearst for the war on Hemp (READ)

That's all going to change very soon and it's about time. HMPQ "ROCKET TIME"

To understand Hearst’s rush to take down the plant, you must first know this. That in order to more cheaply produce his own paper, Hearst had made huge investments into the timber industry. With the rise of cannabis fibers he stood to lose all of what he had gained. In response William Randolph Hearst did what he did best.

He ran a smear campaign. And a damn good one too. According to the stereotypes of the day Hearst contended that the “Drug” (one of the first references to marijuana as a drug) was a dark tool used by “Negroes, Hispanics, and Entertainers” and that the plant forced them into a bloodcraze in which it would be perfectly normal for a black man to rape a white woman and kill her whole family without thinking twice. I ask you, does that sound like any kind of pot you’ve smoked?
