Anybody have any idea why drugs are illegal?

(Oct 29 07, 18:25)The illegalization of pot has a lot to do with William Hearst (basis for Citizen Kane). Use of hemp for all its non-drug uses was a major competitor for Hearst's pulp paper manufacturing, which he used for his own newspaper empire and sold to others. To rid the use of cheap and plentiful hemp, Hearst leveraged his Congress influence to stress the need to outlaw hemp, because of the evil wacky weed.
