Here is someone who validated traditional Cannabis usages including the benefit recreationally by the workers in the fields. This was known and established in about 1840. So why do governments ignore findings?

He validated folk uses of cannabis in India, discovered new applications, and ultimately recommended cannabis for a great variety of therapeutic purposes. O'Shaughnessy established his reputation by successfully relieving the pain of rheumatism and stilling the convulsions of an infant with cannabis. He eventually popularized its use back in England. His most famous success came when he quelled the wrenching muscle spasm of tetanus and rabies with resin. While he could not cure tetanus, he observed that the cannabis mixture reduced their symptoms of spasticity and their suffering

Also, get this, a study published around 1899 enlisted nearly all the British physicians in India over the issue of Cannabis use in the region. The study was nearly 10,000 pages with the overwhelming majority of physicians validating usage by the locals.

Why did the western govts. ignore the findings? Did it have something to do with the color of the skin and cultural snobbery?
