WHY HAVE GOVERNMENTS DEMONIZED MARIJUANA?

After all governments have said about cannabis (marijuana/the devil
weed), how do young citizens know governments are telling the truth
about meth (Local Meth Task Force Set To Strategize, Mar. 24, 2007)?

According to government, cannabis is the biggest problem in North
America, just ask the U.S. drug czar who recently propagandized in
Canada. Today's pot is more like cocaine, causing cancer and all.
Cannabis is a Schedule I drug, while meth is only a Schedule II drug;
so meth must not be a big deal, right? What's the truth?
