Vandeervecken said:Du Pont and Hearst were most certainly 2 of the 3 main anti-hemp drivers but the third was at least as important if not more so. Carnegie-Mellon bank. The main bankers for both the previous companies, and a major stockholder in both. Our first Drug Czar, Harry J. Anshlinger (sp?) was the nephew of the President of C-M Bank.
Carnegie-Mellon bank also bought up hundreds of acres of land to drill on for oil during the depression, in Oklahoma they almost totaly wiped out Indian Territory. Territory of Osage and Choctaw. My families land. As families went bankrupt and mortages defaulted, they picked up the deeds. Most farms went under from the ban on Hemp.
Harry J. Anshlinger needed to employ all the liquor prohibistionist officer, drugs was a good excuse for those men to keep their jobs during the depression and become the DEA. All fueled by Hearst's newspaper.
The most overlooked group in this twisted scheme is the Drug companies, unable to pattend a herb, they have made trillions off reproducing Cannabis and developing drugs to treat illness that Cannabis was used for until 1935. The AMA opposed this ban, yet it still went unheard. As the law took effect Doctors had to fall in with the law, or be arrested. Eli Lilly was a major producer of Cannabis in New Orleans before 1930. Medical advertisements are found online for their "Superior American Cannabis Sativa products" all "physiologically tested."
How humans can believe that a man made chemical is better than a natural element is beyond me.
