I have often pointed out that the corporate state has always had more to lose from hemp farming than from a few boring hippies smoking it.. that is why Hearst (timber, paper, oil), DuPont (petrochemicals, oil), Anslinger (propaganda, drug czar), and Mellon (head of treasury US) conspired to make the smear campaign in order to protect their vast fortunes on to this day.. "marihuana" was their made up excuse to stop the farmers from having as much say as wall street..
