Then, the cultivation of industrial help -- which is not psychoactive -- was also made

How do you explain that growth of industrial hemp was encouraged by the government up
through World War 2? Did it not pose the same threats then?
Good question, but it seems to go in Telmo's direction. It shows that the banning of
hemp was indeed purely irrational, and motivated by making easy money based on lies. it
was only a way to impose oil and forest against a natural efficacious sustainable
competitor.
It can't be both. Making easy money is quite rational. But I don't know who you think led
the campaign to ban marijuana. It's my impression that it was a lot of self-righteous and
fearful conservative Christians who did not stand to gain anything monetarily - anymore
than they now stand to gain by preventing gay marriage. I don't see that going hemp was
any threat to the oil industry or lumber?
