Canadian Marijuana Prohibition
The time has come to end the war on marijuana.  As almost every Canadian knows, marijuana is illegal, and has been since 1920.  But why did they outlaw this plant?

In the early 1920s Maclean's ran a series of articles by Emily Murphy, which were compiled into a book called The Black Candle.
The book was very popular and almost solely responsible for marijuana prohibition in Canada. At one point Emily Murphy explains whom she blames for the marijuana peril:
