Somewhat. Marijuana started being illegalized (delegalized? unlegalized?) between 1915 and 1927 (depending on state). Prohibition was from 1920 - 1933.

Exactly. Alcohol and tobacco are both produced in the US, therefore the US government has some control over it and all the money being spent on it goes back into the US economy. The majority of marijuana comes from outside the US, therefore that money is going to an economy outside of the US.
And, by the way, it really does help if you imagine the chi-ching sound
