    The reason it started to begin with was to be racist against black people in the United States

    Except for the 3 dozen other countries that already banned it as much as 100 years before the US ever did.

        No. In fact if you look at the list of countries that banned cannabis, the US sits pretty much in the middle of the list and after the US ban went in place in 1937, prohibition in other countries actually kind of slowed down till 1950.

        So no idea where you’re getting this but you’re vastly overestimating US influence on this issue.
