and the manipulations always seem to be to one end- money. except for the
obvious sexual arousal. or all that purifying the race stuff- but they are
the exeptions rather than the rule.
in 1916 US department of agriculture scientists, who presumably weren't
looking forward to the consumer dreamtime but were concerned with the
destruction of the US forests, devised a method of making paper from hemp
pulp...probably this concern was prompted less by ecological considerations
than by an awareness of the pressure that the war in europe would place on
the forests. and indeed by 1918 30 million feet of spruce alone per month
was going into the war effort. but the new paper making process remained at
that time purely hypothetical, since the industrial machinery hadn't yet
been developed and wouldn't be until the 1930s.
nevertheless it remained as an ominous threat hovering over the vast US
paper industry, with its massive investments in forest lands, machinery and
infrastructure. meanwhile dupont industries were working towards a new
sulphuric acid process for wood pulp paper, which was to appear in 1937.
the hearst paper manufacturing division was just one of the skittles that
could have gone over if the new hemp paper had become a reality and it
probably would have taken the rest of the hearst empire with it. but W R
hearst was also a newspaper magnate and a monumental bigot.perhaps it was
his own peculiar good luck that he was a vicious racist with a pathological
fear of drug users. maybe he was farsighted to the point of premonition
when it came to his own narrow interests. or maybe it was all down to
coincidence that pancho villa's dope smoking revolutionaries had annexed
800,000 acres of hearst's mexican forest lands. whatever the reason, from
1920 the hearst news empire introduced america to a new moral panic-
marijuana, a hitherto unknown and unbelievably horrific drug, used typically
by "inferior peoples" - specifically blacks and mexicans- which would, if
not checked, lead to the wholesale debauchery of white womanhood at the
hands of reefer smoking, sex crazed negros.
