20. I'm asking why.
Why THC and not, say, caffeine or nicotine.

Maybe I can ask this another way...

Why did W.R. Hearst, the iconoclast of personal greed, shrewd businessman, wholly immoral bugaboo, and drunk, who owned vast tracts of Canadian wood pulp land which he had used to make a fortune bootlegging alcohol during Prohibition and was stuck with it thereafter... why did he suddenly, upon the end of prohibition, become an anti-marijuana teetotaler and expend no small amount of his resources to create and flame an anti-marihuana crusade when such had essentially not existed before?
