I recall hearing that DuPont was largely behind marijuana prohibition because it was a direct competitor with it's new miracle fiber, nylon.
Current "Reefer Madness" brain washing propaganda is being used against Salvia Divinorum. It's been outlawed recently in Missouri, Delaware, Tennessee and Louisiana. The outrageous lies being told (and believed) are spread like gospel truth on PBS, CNN, USA Today and other media. When the media starts attacking something, you can bet that the desired goal is more control for the control junkies. |

| Hemp-Dupont connection

Yeah, DuPont.
Mid 1930's: The new mechanical hemp fiber stripping and pulp machines finally became state-of-the-art in the U.S.A. and ready to roll big-time production for this country. To make paper, textiles, clothes, etc.
1937: Dupont patented nlyon, processes for making plastics from oil and coal, and the process of making paper from wood pulp.
Late 1930's: "Reefer Madness" was now in full swing. Lies being shoved into the face of Americans. Soon Hemp/etc. was outlawed, basically.
By the Federal Government outlawing HEMP, Dupont now had no competition for their synthetic fibers and other materials(nylon, etc.) Not to mention Hemp/MJ's many other uses that would infringe on the pharmaceutical, monopolized industry. Hemp was associated with Cannabis Sativa and other "bad" drugs. The lies are still told and believed to this day, by many. |

and to add insult to injury almost 50% of prison sentences are held by people who have been caught with hemp.
allowing law enforcement interest groups an eternal cash cow for their pet projects and pork barrel politics.
It also serves as an excuse to keep the masses repressed and in a continual state of bogieman fear "hobgoblins"
non-violen tCrime is very low in alaska where hemp is legal.
More laws, more crime, more repression.
all roads lead to rome.

Yeah, kind of makes one wonder if the "War on Drugs", winless as it is, will ever stop? Must be a constant, reliable source of money flow for the powers-that-be, you know? What a racket! |

| The travesty of the image of Hemp

Hemp is one of nature's strongest and most versatile agricultural crops and has many commercial uses. Farmers in about 30 countries -like Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and Australia grow hemp for industrial purposes.
Presently in the U.S.A., federal and state laws prohibit American farmers from growing this profitable and environmentally friendly commodity. A crystal clear example of this travesty is biomass fuels/mass energy production. Hemp could provide solutions for these things. But this, of course, threatens the current, monopolized energy industry. How much damn coal can we continue to burn? We have a pretty good idea nowadays how much CO2 this puts into the atmosphere. And we know the pollution that these giant power plants spew into our air. And on and on it goes.
"The marketplace, not myopic rules, should determine hemp's future in America."
