Hemp...Why it Became Illegal

Hemp, or industrial hemp, is a botanical class of Cannabis sativa cultivars grown specifically for industrial or medicinal use. It can be used to make a wide range of products. Along with bamboo, hemp is among the fastest growing plants on Earth. It was also one of the first plants to be spun into usable fiber 50,000 years ago. It can be refined into a variety of commercial items, including paper, rope, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, and animal feed.
By this time Dupont was pushing its new petrochemical synthetics to its shareholders and of course hemp would again be the competition. If only there was a way to get rid of it? Harry Anslinger would go on to change his tune completely 20 years later when he said marijuana pacified people and would subdue the fighting will of the American men.William Hearst’s Smear Campaign and the birth of ‘Yellow Journalism’Newspaper baron, William Hearst owned vast acres of woodlands and it is said that he, Dupont, Anslinger and Melon were all set to lose from cannabis utility, ease of growth and quality, so they all came together to try to get rid of it.Hearst had invested millions in technology for processing wood into paper at the time and with stationers starting the favour Hemp stalks for their paper, Hearst’s investments were in jeopardy.William Hearst would introduce “Yellow Journalism” as a force in America. That is, sensationalist journalism with clickbait headlines, where the factual contents of the story were an after thought, in much the same way as we see today in the age of “Fake News”.The perfect example of this is the reporting on a car crash where a marijuana cigarette was found. The story made the front pages for weeks while alcohol related crashes were pushed to the back pages even though they were 10,000 times more common.We see the same rubbish reporting to this day and the internet has only served to amplify it.Another example would be another ridiculous headline from Hearst’s paper that read:“If the hideous monster Frankenstein came face to face with the monster marijuana, he would drop dead of fright.”The Donald Trump administration took positions against marijuana and against the easing of laws regarding marijuana. Although Trump indicated during his 2016 presidential campaign that he favored leaving the issue of legalization of marijuana to the states, his administration subsequently upheld the federal prohibition of cannabis, and Trump's 2021 fiscal budget proposal included removing protections for state medical marijuana laws.
