What are your views on hemp?

I have done some eye opening research, I want to know why you say that hemp is bad. Give me one logical reason, but I bet you can't. I haven't met one person that can. Because most people that don't approve just don't because it is illegal. Ease your mind a little bit, open wide. What is your opinion?

In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression.





William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst鈥檚 grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.








In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont鈥檚 Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont鈥檚 business.








THE TRICKS





Andrew Mellon became Hoover鈥檚 Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont鈥檚 primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.








Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: 鈥榤arihuana鈥?and pushed it into the consciousness of America.





MEDIA MANIPULATION





A media blitz of 鈥榶ellow journalism鈥?raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst鈥檚 newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marijuana. The menace of marijuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.





Films like 鈥楻eefer Madness鈥?(1936), 鈥楳arihuana: Assassin of Youth鈥?(1935) and 鈥楳arihuana: The Devil鈥檚 Weed鈥?(1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.








Examine the following quotes from 鈥楾he Burning Question鈥?aka REEFER


MADNESS:


*a violent narcotic.


*acts of shocking violence.


*incurable insanity.


*soul-destroying effects.


*under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an axe.


*more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana!





Reefer Madness did not end with the usual 鈥榯he end.鈥?The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN.








In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers.





On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress.








Dr. James Woodward, a physician and attorney, testified too late on behalf of the American Medical Association. He told the committee that the reason the AMA had not denounced the Marihuana Tax Law sooner was that the Association had just discovered that marihuana was/is hemp.


Few people, at the time, realized that the deadly menace they had been reading about on Hearst鈥檚 front pages was in fact passive hemp. The AMA understood hemp to be a MEDICINE found in numerous healing products sold over the last hundred years.





In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since.








Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-causing drug known. Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely violent. In the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so much that soldiers would not want to fight.





Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed if we industrialized hemp. Natural biom|||I don't smoke pot and I don't recommend. But it is harmless and should be legalized. Arresting someone for smoking a joint while letting someone drink a whole bottle of whiskey is a contradiction.|||you wrote too much too read ...but Ill say this HEMP IS GREAT it will produce more than people realize its not all about THC people!|||i think hemp is a very versatile and useful plant. i wish i could see vast fields of hemp as i drive through the countryside. it could also be very useful as a cash crop that could be taxed as a consumer item, a good business for the farmer and the government. hemp as a domestic crop would save trillions in law enforcement expenses-trillions that could be put to better use apprehending and jailing real criminals. yes, i think your research shows undeniably that hemp has been long ignored as a valuable natural resource in our country. it has been grossly and erroneously misrepresented and maligned. thank you for your important research.
