Simple really.
Blacks used pot in the southeast, crime was an issue. Therefore make it so you need to get a doctors note to get it, that way white people could afford it and the blacks can be arrested.
Meanwhile in the Mexico border states when the depression hit. They needed a way to get rid of all that cheap labor that they imported when we needed it before the depression. We could not have a bunch of Mexicans taking jobs when Americans were out of work. Alas though they smoked pot. But they wanted the Feds to handle it since it was a border issue to the states.
Feds wanted nothing to do with it. It fucking grew everywhere. It would be impossible to fight and who could make a plant that grew everywhere illegal. Not to mention it was unconstitutional. The courts solved the issue with the passing of the machine gun stamp tax act. This tax did not outlaw machine guns, it just said in order to own one, buy one, or sell one you needed a stamp. The Government just would make no such stamps. Along came the marijuana stamp tax.
This solved all the issues, until a certain acid freak challenged it up to the supreme courts. He fought that it was also unconstitional. Since in order to get the stamp one must have the pot on them, and having the pot on them without such stamp was illegal. It was overturned. Pot became legal.
Well that didnt last, it is illegal again, well mostly.
