If it's so harmless as you say I cannot honestly understand why its use is banned.
It's banned because during the prohibition people still needed a way to get their buzz, so they started smoking weed. I don't remember exactly, but I believe Mexicans kept coming into the US during that time to sell their goods, and the government didn't want em, so they put out these ridiculous campaigns against marijuana saying it makes you go insane etc..

^^ this is actually what much of the educated anti prohibitionists beleive. After much reading and researh on the subject this is my beleif as well. At the time that it was initially outlawed in the US they were saying that weed did some pretty ludricrous things. Even those against it's use know much of the reasoning back then was complete nonsense.
